On May 4, 1978 this Washington, D.C., native began his musical journey. One day in his fourth grade
math class, a teacher walked in and asked, “Would anyone like to play a musical instrument?” Hudson, desperate to escape math class, ran out of the room screaming, “I DO, I DO!”
As an independent artist and gifted musician, this bassist, producer and book author is quite well rounded in his musical mastery and a triple threat! In Addition, his charismatic personality and infectious smile are sure to win over fans all over the world. Hudson on Bass exudes phenomenal talent from his core.
Hudson is a father of three; two boys and a girl. This family man loves children and has a soft spot in his heart for youth and music which inspired the “Bassed on Love” movement. One of his favorite sayings is, “Remember, the only real difference in a Major and a Minor is: ATTITUDE!”
Hudson made his way to Atlanta, Georgia in 2002 and was well received by the music community. He performed at places such as Londzell’s Martini Lounge, Encore 2, Loews Atlanta Hotel, Twelve Atlantic Station and many more! This talented bassist is destined to become a household name.
In 2008, there was a week-long Hudson on Bass Summer inspirational Music Camp in Stone Mountain, Georgia. The camp provided the opportunity for musically inclined students to study vocal and instrumental music. In addition to group lessons, students attended classes in their special areas of interest, such as Music Theater, music theory, improvisation, introduction to fundamentals of music and more. In keeping with his interest in children, May 2011 is the first release of his “Why Play” book series designed to help teach children and adults to learn how to play musical instruments.
Working with many professionals in the entertainment industry, Hudson on Bass was also the featured bass player in the Warner Brothers movie, “The Preacher’s Kid.” Hudson has worked with celebrities such as Aretha Franklin, The Temptations, Grover Washington Jr., Teena Marie, Lauryn Hill, Anthony Hamilton and NBA legend Terry Cummings. The goal is to continue growing the Hudson on Bass from a local fan base to a national one and then eventually on to an international level.
