Hi there, I´m Nicolás Ojeda, bass and double bass player from Buenos Aires, Argentina. I´m brand new on this platform but I´ve been in music for over 30 years. The last 10 years I´ve been developing my soloist career as a composer in a contemporary jazz set, with two edited CDs that can be found on every streaming platform; simultaneously I took part of a wide range of other projects as member or guest, sessionist, producer, music designer for documentaries, movies and performances as well as teaching.
I enjoy collaborating in diverse music genres and, although my instrument is normally linked to jazz, tango or classical I like to use it in other unusual styles (funk, drum´n´bass, ambient, progressive rock, experimental, among others) Take a look at my samples.
I love searching for the appropriate sound for each piece and I'm open minded to use different sounds and techniques in order to adapt to the requirements of the song. I have a 4 string jazz bass (modern or vintage sound, with flatwound strings if you´re looking for a Motown sound or roundwounds if you´re seeking a modern touch) I also have a very singin' and warm 5 strings fretless bass.
Fingerstyle, bow (upright), slap, pick, tapping, pedals, loops or just editing experiments of any kind… I'm genuinely open to experiment and search for what you need. I can play solos, melodies, textures and arrangements as well!

    Nico is just great. He managed to capture the spirit of the composition, and recorded every note to enhance the song. Technically he is a high level musician, but he is also very sensitive and has a taste for every arrangement. It helps if he is a good producer as well as a bass player. In conclusion you can't lose with Nico, we will definitely keep working on new projects with him.

    Very good bass player. I asked Nicolas to play upright bass on my track and he did a great job. He even supplied me with lots of different takes. Will be using him again. Thanks Nicolas.

    Nicolas is by far the best experience I have had with a bass player. He is a precise musician and very creative. He really over delivered on my project.

    Nicolas is a bass genius! He gave us a ton of options to choose from which had a big variety of unique ideas. He delivered us drafts and the finals within 2 days and he completely brought his identity into the song perfectly! I definitely recommend him if you're looking for a great improviser, with a beautiful bass sound. Looking forward to work with him again very soon !
