Brooklyn, NYC, born Christian “Big New York” de Mesones is a seasoned bassist, composer
and bandleader from DMV (the Washington, DC area). He's been playing
bass for over 40 years graduating from the Bass Institute of
Technology (Now the Musician’s Institute) in Hollywood, CA.
He began as a New York City cabbie and heavy metal bassist and embroiled in a word of sex and drugs and rock and roll until he
decided to turn his life around relocating to Virginia and converting to jazz funk. He describes his music as 'smooth grooves and funky soul with a Latin
flair'.
His debut album "They Call Me Big New York" arrived in March 2020 just as Covid lockdown came into force
which somewhat limited his ability to promote the album.
A year later he released a sultry Latin-tinged cut titled "Hispanica" which a UK DJ sent to Grammy-winning keyboardist Bob James who
agreed to play piano on the track. It's included on his sophomore
album "You Only Live Twice" released on 12 April. On the same day the choice cut "Stay (Big New York Mix)" feat. Nes (Vanessa) Powers, the only vocal song, was released as a
single.
