Bass is Base
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bass is Base was a Canadian R&B group in the 1990s.
The band consisted of Chin Injeti on bass, Ivana Santilli on keyboards, and MC Mystic (Roger Mooking) on percussion. All three members contributed vocals, Injeti and Santilli as singers and Mystic as a rapper.
In addition to the early single "Funkmobile", which garnered the band a deal with A&M Records, the band had one breakout top 40 hit, "I Cry". Their debut album, First Impressions for the Bottom Jigglers, was nominated for, and won a Juno Award in the Best R & B/Soul Recording category in 1994.
Santilli went on to a solo career. Injeti works as a producer and bass player; in 2005 he produced "hick-hop" artist Ridley Bent's debut release, Blam. Mooking briefly left the music business, and now works as an acclaimed chef in Toronto. He is the host of a new television show on The Food Network called "Everyday Exotic". He also is releasing an album of new material (September 2008).
