CC “Bass” Wilson helps musicians to improve their playing confidence. She is a professional musician, author, speaker, personal development coach and co-founder and co-Host of Musicians’ Personal Development Podcast. With over 20 years of experience, CC treats music as a language and performing as a stimulating conversation between the band members and audience.
Her musical journey began as a childhood dream of becoming a rock star and would use a tennis racquet to emulate her favorite heavy metal guitar players. After a year of begging, her parents bought her first bass guitar at the age of 13. She taught herself how to play and spent every moment she could with the bass. Eventually, CC turned her dreams into reality when she went on to play in the U.S. Navy Band Southwest and enjoyed success performing with several jazz, Top 40, and Latin bands in Southern California.
However, her journey was not easy and she had to overcome some struggles. A crippling social anxiety would take her away from music for eight years. It was only through self-discovery and personal development that she returned to performing and has become one of the most in-demand bass players in the Washington DC area. She also helps others who experience the same struggle.
CC is the author of Play Confidently: Quiet Your Inner Critic, which offers a holistic approach to building confidence as a performer. Whether you are a beginner or an advanced musician, this book offers actionable tips to help you become your best musician self. “I know my life’s purpose is much higher than just playing the bass. I’ve come to a place where I know how to manage my anxiety and inner critic and feel comfortable with where I am in my journey. Helping musicians to play confidently and quiet their inner critic is part of my journey.”
