Information[]
BOH became interested in guitar and bass at a young age. When he was fifteen he began playing 4 string bass and started his first high school rock band. Since the beginning his bass playing has been influenced by his favorite bassists Billy Sheehan and Victor Wooten. His high school band played covers of their favorite bands and he would usually join other bands to play covers of other popular artists.
At 18 years old, BOH began playing the 6 string bass due mostly for his love and admiration of Billy Sheehans shredding and chordal play on the 6 string.
