Employment History & Experience

I am a musician based in Liverpool (UK) mainly being a bass guitarist but i also play alto sax, clarinet, guitar and sing. I can play in all styles of music and appriciate all genres, over the years i have played in everything such as Jazz bands to live Hip Hop bands. I can travel to jobs and can supply my own backline gear for anything needed. I endorse Wyn Guitars, the growing an popular californian bass guitar company.

"Karl Sweeney has what I would call the perfect trifecta of qualities necessary to make it as a musician in today's world. Karl possesses impressive maturity, and an amazing work ethic for such a young man. When you put those qualities together with his tremendous gifts for writing, producing, playing and recording, you've got the kind of player Wyn Guitars is proud to be associated with.

I first met Karl at the Winter NAMM Show in Los Angeles at the Wyn booth, focused and playing the most amazing bass lines one can imagine. I knew right then that this was a rare talent on the move. We worked out a deal that allowed Karl to be able to take a Wyn four string bass home with him. He has since grown to take on a Wyn six as well. Every time I talk to Karl he's learning a new instrument or taking on a new entertainment or recording assignment. It is such a treat to work with young talent that instinctively knows how to stay out of their own way and to nurture their own talents with musical commitment. Karl is one special member of the Wyn family and my hope is that I will work with him for a life time"

I am currently working as a self employed musician based in the UK (Northwest) also continuing to develop relations with Wyn Guitars travelling to Los Angeles CA yearly, to represent the company in the winter NAMM Show. Also i play in various bands across the Northwest and playing as a solo acoustic artist.
