Featuring
Frunkyman (Miguel Leyva) is a Bay Area-based bassist and composer who recently graduated from SJSU’s Jazz Studies Masters program. He spends his time working as a session musician, arranger, and composer for different media outlets. Mostly, cinematic projects in Los Angeles where he obtained his undergraduate degree in media composition at CSUN. Projects he’s been involved with include: Genius: Picasso, FIFA 2018, Drifting Dragons, and the Video Game Awards 2018 as a studio musician. His passion for jazz and funk has compelled him to create and hone the Frunkyman sound-concept experience for the past several years. The cosmically eccentric sound adorned with elaborate funk convolutions will manifest at First Friday and inevitably aggravate splenius capitis’s and other neck muscles.
