Norwegian bassist Andreas Oxholm made it to the final thanks to an emotive solo bass performance of his song Relapse. Having picked up the bass aged 15/16, he says it was a solo groove from Victor Wooten that set him on his current path to righteousness.
“It feels surreal to have made it to the final,” he told us. “I generally don’t like music being something to compete with, but what made me be a part of this competition is because it is a great arena to showcase my music. I hope with this final that more people will listen to my albums and like what they hear.”
