Fnugg - Oystein Baadsviik



A special quarantine performance of Oystein Baadsvik's "Fnugg". Hailed the "Panganini" of tuba by Youtube duo Twoset, this piece is a, eccentric, funky, different groove by one of my biggest influences.

Beautiful Girls Tubafied - Sean Kingston



As a part of my Tubafied Series, I created this little arrangement of Sean Kingston's Beautiful Girls, which utilizes the well known Ben E. King bassline. A simple yet fun little tune.

PERFORMANCE SUMMARY



Sol has been performing in high quality groups for years. She has been a part of groups such as the top Las Vegas Academy Wind Ensemble and Philharmonic, the Honor Winds, District Honor Bands, and performed around the world. She has participated in the WIBC Clinic with one group, and been to multiple prestigious stages whilst being part of the bass of the band, such as UCLA, the Smith Center, and even the Weiner Musikverin. She has gotten to play alongside world class musicians, including the New York Philharmonic's Principal Trombone, Joe Alessi, and the Boston Brass. Aside from Classical Music, she has also studied jazz and played in bands using tuba, is currently learning banda, and is willing to learn about any genre you present her with.


Sol also does a lot of soloist work. From classical to jazz to pop, she works to play the traditional, the odd, and makes her own arrangements to experiment just how far the tuba can go. Regardless of if you're looking for someone to hold down the fort, or for someone to face extremes, Sol's ready to happily pull it out.



Tubafied (n. past tense) - the act of converting a song into an ultimate tuba arrangement



I have a mission: I want to take the tuba, and turn it into a instrument capable of things the world has never seen before. As a part of that, it is my goal to create as many innovative, different types of music as I can. As part of my initiative, I have started a series called Tubafied. Join me on my journey to turn tuba into the modern electric guitar- but better.


Pop tuba still has hope. Move out of the way, Despacito arrangements. I'm coming for you.
