This week I sit down with Nik West - bass player, vocalist and songwriter with credits that include artists such as Dave Stewart of Eurythmics, Prince, John Mayer, Glee and American Idol.

She's been on the cover of Bass Musician Magazine and has also been featured in Bass Player, Bass Quarterly Germany, and Bass Magazine Japan.

In this episode we discuss her past, how she found the bass, why she nearly gave up for good - right through to moving to LA, hanging out with the likes of Andrew Gouché and getting the call from Prince.
