My name is Mel, I'm 16, born in England moved to New Zealand in 2015, and I've been playing bass for a bit over a year after playing violin for 3 years (i hated it and sucked really bad lmao). I've been in love with this instrument pretty much since i started playing and play it in my spare time just because I really enjoy it. I'm playing in my church band and school band, and in music class im playing at around grade 7 level.
