Hey, I’m Ted.

I’m a bassist, content creator, and educator from New Orleans. I’ve spent over 20 years playing music professionally, from the local music scene to international stages, and I’ve taught music and technology to students of all ages for over 13 years.

I launched Ted Talks Bass to share my passion for the bass guitar and help fellow musicians—whether hobbyists or aspiring pros—unlock their full potential. Through hundreds of videos, courses, and live streams, I aim to make bass playing more accessible, enjoyable, and rewarding for everyone.

In addition to Ted Talks Bass, I’ve worked as a musical director, played with funk legends like Zigaboo Modeliste, and collaborated with artists from Prince’s bands. My approach is grounded in real-world experience, aiming to bring practical, no-nonsense advice to musicians who want to make music, find gigs, and grow their brand.

To making music you love,
