Our guest for this episode is David Teague (aka Teague Bass). Touted as one of the most talented bassists in Asia, this “bassist” for hire, is a versatile musician whose vast repertoire spans across blues, rock, R&B, jazz, hip hop, house, reggae, ska, and pop. A dynamic and energetic performer, Teague’s onstage performance and showmanship are legendary in Singapore and throughout the region. Born and raised in Michigan, Teauge now resided in Asia. He fell in love with the music scene and culture after initially touring the region 25 years ago and decided to make it his home.
With a career spanning over three decades, Teauge has opened for legendary acts such as Metallica and performed and toured worldwide with music legends like Alexander O’Neal, Cherell, Vesta Williams, Cynthia Johnson, Michael Bland, and Rocky Robins. Since the 80's, he has toured USA, Canada, the Caribbean, Japan, Taiwan, China, Taiwan, Thailand, Malaysia, Myanmar, Sri Lanka, Singapore, Indonesia, Brunei, and Germany.
Currently Teague performs with the Luke Buirski Project (LBP), Adjazent, and JS Funk and his original project, Dirty Perfect. He is also an ambassador and artist for the up and coming social network, Yay+. The platform supports independent artists and connects them to others around the globe. As a member of Yay+ this is how Skunk connected with Teague, and it was an absolute delight to speak with from his home in Malaysia. We talk about his career, the surrounding area and culture, cuisine, influences, Yay+ and more. He even showed us a stellar view of Singapore from his apartment (available on our youtube channel).
Teague truly has the right attitude when it comes to his career as a musician and life in general. He always plays with passion and loves to perform and share the joy of his craft and the universal language of music.
"When I'm onstage, nothing else matters except my bass, the audience and creating magic"
