Widely known today as the progenitor of the Miami Bass movement, Amos Larkins II is one of the only producers from that golden age that has never slowed down, continually producing music that is a cut above the competition since he first walked into a studio decades ago. Because he has such a strong foundation in the principles of music, having studied with the likes of legendary bassist Jaco Pastorius, jazz pianist Chick Corea, and has participated in workshops with Stanley Clarke, George Duke, Billy Cobham, Jean-Luc Ponty, Al Di Meola and countless others - there is no genre that he hasn't mastered - be it hip-hop, house music, synth pop, electro, bass, funk, whatever - Amos has done it all and still manages to stay ahead of the curve.
