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 on my way to Nashville to tour with a country band full of heavy rock playing musicians. 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 Steve Cash, 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. I haven't made any bass playing videos for a long time. Why? I love to take care of my family and cook. I work as a dental assistant. I sell stuff on eBay. My current favorite band is THE ARISTOCRATS
