Chris Minh Doky stands out as one of the most talented bass players in contemporary music. The New York-based artist is regarded among the masters of the upright bass widely recognized for his passionate delivery and extraordinary technical gifts. With musical roots deriving from his love of American East Coast grooves and the lyric tradition of Scandinavia, Doky has developed a distinctive sound as well as created a style that is uniquely his own. Dokys rare ability to perform with creativity and dynamism as both a soloist and as a sideman has put him on the list of Top Ten Bassists in Readers Polls and earned him Artist of the Year awards as well as platinum-awarded sales. Parallel to leading his own band, Doky continues to play with some of the most significant jazz artists of today. Being an integral part of the Michael Brecker Quartet since 2001, he is also currently playing and touring with the Randy Brecker Band and the Mike Stern Band. Chris has been a Yamaha artist since 2001 and performs on the Yamaha SVB-100 and BB1500A. Chris is an extremely active clinician giving workshops constantly in the United States and abroad.

Yamaha has always been synonymous with highest quality and consistency. Having played my beloved instruments for all these years, I know first hand how they never rest on their laurels, always seeking to improve, with great success. Their support through out the world and their unsurpassed craftsmanship has made them an important part of my everyday life as a musician.
