ROGER "BASS MAN" KURT "If you would like to hear classic "Oldies Songs" of the 50's,60's & 70's sung by one of the LOWEST VOICES you might ever hear ... then check my CDs out !!!!! I was born in Los Angeles, California and spent my early childhood in San Diego, California. I moved to Hawaii in 1966 where I attended St. Joseph's Elementary School, Damien High School, and later graduated from the University of Hawaii with a degree in Psychology. My musical training started with piano lessons. Later, I began playing the coronet and the trumpet while still living in San Diego. I received twelve years of private lessons through the Cody School of Music in San Diego. During that period, I performed in a 300-piece concert orchestra and also played in a dance/swing/jazz ensemble. After moving to Hawaii, I taught himself how to play both classical and electric guitar. I played in various rock groups during and after my college days. More recently, I began performing as a singer. I have received vocal training through the Sounds of Aloha Barbershop Chorus and I have also received private vocal training. As a singer, I have performed with the Sounds of Aloha Chorus, The Singers of Hawaii, the fifties group, The Love Notes, and most recently with the acappella group, Shakapella - which I co-founded. ""The Higher Powers" have blessed me with a unique and distinctive voice, which is rarely heard! My voice is unusually low and resonant. I sing in the register of a Contra Bass or a "Russian" Bass, which is an octave lower than a traditional bass singer and two octaves lower than a baritone singer. Having grown tired of hearing songs constantly sung by high pitched male singers, I have begun the "mission" of furthering the cause of the forgotten bass singers of the world! In light of this "mission," I have recently produced three of my own solo CDs where the bass singer gets all of the leads! I did all of the recording and engineering myself and I played all of the instruments you hear on the CDs. I am also responsible for most of the musical arrangements on the CDs. By day, I am a School Social Worker working with Autistic kids .... which is rewarding but, doesn't pay much!!! That is why I have done all of the recording, producing, etc. myself. I therefore apologize for any poor musical quality on the backup tracks! I just don't have the kind of budget that allows me to use top dollar recording studios! My main forte is my voice. I don't claim to have the "greatest voice on earth" but ...It may be "ONE OF THE LOWEST VOICES ON EARTH !!!" The first song on my most popular CD, "Mr. Bass Man's Back!" is an original song which I performed on the popular TV show Hawaii Stars, where I was a finalist in 1998. These are my first steps towards a solo singing career! With ALOHA, Roger "Bass Man" Kurt |
