The talented bassist, who has a massive global audience on Instagram and YouTube, recently jumped out on his own as a solo performer. He has performed with some of the legendary artists of our time, including Prince, shortly before his death. In 2020, he won a Grammy as part of his participation on the 2020 NAS studio album King’s Disease.
What’s unique and impressive about the right-handed MonoNeon is that he plays he plays left-handed upside down on a right-handed bass guitar, which allows him to use heavy string bending on the upper strings.
