It is impossible to overstate Nathan East's contribution to music. Over 35 years the acclaimed bassist has become one of the most recorded musicians of all time with over 2000 credits including Barry White, Stevie Wonder, Anita Baker, Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, Madonna, Quincy Jones (who called him "so talented it's ridiculous"), and Daft Punk's Grammy winning album Random Access Memories.

He told Bass Guitar Magazine in March 2015: "You have to make each tune sound like it’s the first time you played it and the last time you will ever play it".

After spending most of his career playing on other people's records, last year he released his debut solo album, the Grammy nominated Nathan East. Currently touring across Singapore, Korea and Japan you can also find him at ArtistWorks where he teaches bass via online lessons.

We asked Nathan for his top five basslines of all time...he gave us seven!
