HI, my name is Valerie and I was one of the first bassists to have a channel on Youtube. In 2005 I uploaded a few videos of me playing my bass as a test. Shortly thereafter I was invited to play with different bands. I joined Johnny Rodes Outlaw Band and recorded at EMI in Nashville. Then I was invited to play in what became the world's first internet band. My 15 minutes of fame came with this band, The Clipbandits. We were on Tyra Banks Show, ABC World News, and Good Morning America. I have done a bunch of other videos with the online bands Few and Far Between (SteveCash83), Virtually Rush, and John Beagley. I've also played live on stage with the band, Marillion, at their Swap The Band event in Montreal 2011. There is a playlist of collabs that I have done on my channel. I haven't made any bass playing videos for a long time. Why? I was a full time caregiver for my mom for over 6 years. I have an eBay store and a Whatnot store. My current favorite artist is Quinn Sullivan.
