Nelson’s career goes back to when he played with the critically acclaimed band “Popular Science” as a drummer and songwriter before he switched to bass as his main instrument years later. Since then, he’s been a full-time bassist working in various venues and all styles of music, from concert halls to studio work to Broadway plays.  Consequently, he’s the only person to have been featured in both Modern Drummer magazine as well as Bass Player magazine.  And his guitar work on his album “Don’t Fear the Reverb” has also received high praise. 

 Nelson has played with members of the bands Steely Dan, Daft Punk, Jimmy Buffet, and Stevie Winwood.  He’s also featured in the new book “From The Record” along with music industry legends, Robin Gibb, Neil Sedaka, and Kelly Rowland. 

 Nelson currently works mostly as a producer and recording engineer, but still manages to record much of his own music. He has over 300 videos on Youtube where he plays all the instruments and the styles range from Rock to Jazz, to Funk to Country.  Being so eclectic is difficult to market because people expect an artist to do one thing, but as Nelson puts it, “I enjoy all types of music and want to express myself in a variety of ways. If others enjoy it, I’ve succeeded in what I’m trying to do.” 

That is why he currently makes all of his recordings available free of charge to his fans.
