“When I'm playing with my band, I designate different parts to feel dif...” — Mandy Harvey Quote

When I'm playing with my band, I designate different parts to feel different things. The bass pounds in your chest when you go to a concert. It almost replaces your heartbeat. Then the drums you feel on the floor.

So I studied a lot with the balloon, and in learning how to sing with other musicians and keep in time - that's all by touch. A lot of that I feel in my body, and growing up with hearing I have pretty good muscle memory, and I was born with near perfect pitch.

I really hope my music and my life can help encourage people not to give up.

My feeling of security really went down the tubes when I couldn't hear anymore. When it got dark, I'd get very afraid because I can't hear people coming up behind me.

Bass players are always the underdogs of the band, but I made sure that I was never viewed as one. I went out of my way to steal as much limelight as I could.

I do seem to like to combine the dramatic emotional warmth of strings with the grooves and body business of drums and bass.

I play bass. I don't have to go out there and screech.

I'm doing bass trap; I'm doing EDM songs.

There are a lot of people who can do it on the guitar and sing at the same time, but I think what is harder is bass players that can play the bass and sing.
