Klaye Sanders |

Klaye is a Christian Bass player who plays a small part in the Gospel scene in Australia. Klaye found his voice at the age of 18, he knew he needed to be able to play an instrument to compliment his voice. He picked up the bass at the age of 19 when the bassplayer left the church he was attending and thus began his journey. Klaye says "Having a singing ability helped me with ear and note placement and my approach to bass playing soon saw me getting noticed in church circles around town." Klaye brings that element of surprise, the ‘shy guy’ by day embraces his alter ego by night and it shows when he hits the stage. Don’t let his rugged exterior fool you – Klaye will mesmerize you with his bass playing ability and a voice that’s as pure as honey. He is currently juggling seven talented original acts in his local town of Newcastle & Sydney. To date he’s had the opportunity to record on five albums with the following artists - Amy Vee, Ben Webb, Daniel March, James Chatburn, Marissa Saroca. Klaye is proud to be the first MTD Kingston endorsed artist through exclusive Australian distributor Thump Music. Jon Carruthers at THUMP called him straight away when he picked up the line of basses, knowing the Klaye was the biggest Andrew Gouche Fan. "Jon knew I needed one in my hands!" Klaye thanks MTD and Thump Music for this opportunity to spread the word ‘MTD4LYFE. Links:

Joe pursued music throughout school and developed his craft playing on the church scene. Having earned a bachelor degree (majoring in jazz performance) and completing studies in contemporary music at WAAPA, Joe now performs regularly on the local circuit in numerous genres – including rock, pop, jazz and R&B, amongst others. At present, he is involved with rock/pop project Graphic Fiction Heroes and blues outfit the Paul Gioia band.
