Biography Edward Macleans
Edward Maclean has been operating in the deep frequency trade for some time now. Electric bass, double bass, and the occasional fat bass synth are his constant companions. He was born in Ghana, went to school in the far west of Germany and graduated from the Hanns Eisler School of Music in Berlin where he currently lives.
His sound is rich,warm and has a lot of bottom with a little bit of grime in the middle. Holding down the time while keeping songs breathing – always focused on the overall sound – he has established himself as a sought after musical director.
As his compositions gain more recognition -having written songs for Fetsum and Eska Mtungwazi – he is about to launch his own venture: Adoqué.
He is part of the Ron Spielman trio and is also the founding musical director of the renowned liveDEMO Band – the go-to backing band for numerous acts touring Europe. Latest in his rooster is Schmidt, a great Berlin based singer about to conquer Europe.
Additionally he lends his support as bass player or MD to a multitude of artists: Schmidt, Dendemann, Nils Wülker, and Blue Touch Paper – a British-German Jazz band – founded by Colin Towns.
Past engagements included: Peter Fox, Zascha Moktan, Jazzanova, Jessica Gall and many more, performing across Europe at well known venues from the Southport Weekender to the Leverkusen Jazz Fest, to Rock am Ring. Stay tuned for Adoqué, his much anticipated compositional debut.
