Eclectic bassist/composer/producer Viktor Krauss was born in Champaign, IL, in 1969. His youth was spent listening to film scores and instrumental music, eventually leading him to the piano and trumpet. After witnessing the power and ominous presence of the double bass at a middle school concert, he found his true calling. After graduating from the University of Illinois (Bachelor of Music Composition/Theory ’91), Krauss has been a presence in Nashville Tennessee since 1992 with nearly 500 album credits as either a bassist, composer/songwriter or producer.
