Kevin Reginald Cooke "I've been using AccuGroove cabs since 2009, and till this day, I still haven't played through anything else that comes anywhere close. The claim that they'll bring your studio tone to your live performance is no exaggeration, and once you've experienced it, it's tough to live without..."

Originally from the UK, Kevin is currently residing in Trieste, Italy. He is at the end of a Master's course in classical double bass playing. Kevin Reginald Cooke is actively playing both double bass and electric bass in an orchestral context, as well as for big bands and various singer/songwriters such as Mery's Key, Bill Lee, and Saša Kulenovic. Past collaborations include Daniela Bove, Dan O'Shea, Kim Lowings, Terry Emm, Julia Harris, and Miccoli.

From an early age, Kevin Reginald Cooke loved the low end of the audio spectrum. At eight years old, he began studying the tuba, soon moved to the bass guitar, and eventually the double bass. Upon finishing school in Milton Keynes, he was already playing in a signed band, Terrapin Trainstation, that drew influences from bands such as The Counting Crows and Lifehouse. In addition, he'd already begun solo bass playing, singing, and songwriting simultaneously. Inspired by artists such as Seth Horan and the bass/vocal duo of Steve Lawson and Lobelia. His solo playing has seen him perform concerts alongside those above and with Yolanda Charles.

When moving on to studying double bass, Kevin began taking private lessons with Thomas Martin (ex-principle bassist of the London Symphony Orchestra). Then they went on to study with Stefano Sciascia (world-renowned soloist) at the Conservatory of Giuseppe Tartini in Trieste, Italy. In addition, he regularly plays as a freelance classical double bass player with various orchestras in the zone.

In 2018, Kevin recorded on the "Let This Fire Burn" EP from Bill Lee, an EP that resulted from the collaboration of 17 different musicians across five tracks. Afterward, he became a fixed member of the stabilized band that formed later.

2020 will see his first official single release, putting solo bass playing at the forefront of pop-orientated music.
