Considered a late bloomer, Mendell didn’t pick up the bass guitar until the age of 22, after migrating to the US from Jamaica! Since then, he’s been blessed to play for a wide range of artists, including Paul Taylor, Steve Oliver, Donnie McClurkin, Marion Meadows, Natalie Grant, Ronnie DeVoe, Phil Denny, and the legendary Mr 335 himself, Larry Carlton, among others.
Mendell is currently the bassist for Trippin Billies, The Dave Matthews tribute band, and Minister of Music at Shekinah Chapel Lutheran Church.
“GHS Bass Boomers were the very 1st strings I used when I started back in 1995. I’ve tried others, but my search has led me right back to where I started! Bass Boomers are my choice!! “
