Welcome to The Hump! I am your host, jazz bassist and vocalist Katie Thiroux. I’ll be hosting interviews with my favorite musicians and industry leaders from around the world. My quest is to find out what makes them such great artists, how did it all happen and what can we learn from them! If you're wondering, “The Hump” refers to the beat of the music! It’s a common reference amongst bass players and one might hear “Oh, she/he has got a nice hump.” Translation: they have a nice beat or feel! Tune in every Wednesday for brand new episodes and be sure to follow The Hump on Instagram for teasers and updates! @thehumpwithkatie
