Ken has been the bassist for the Austin, TX based progressive metal band Meyvn since their formation in early 2004. Meyvn has shared the stage with such bands as To/Die/For, Shadowkeep, F5, Rigor Mortis, Jon Oliva's Pain, Outworld and Circus Maximus. Meyvn released their first full length album in 2006, played ProgPower Europe 2007 and will be working on their next album in 2008. In 2006, Meyvn was voted best metal band and Ken was 2nd best bassist in Austin in the Edge Magazine.

     Ken has been playing bass since 1991, starting off on a 4 string, being influence by bassists such as Metallica's Cliff Burton and Iron Maiden's Steve Harris. After listening to bass players like John Myung of Dream Theater, he moved on to a 5 string and soon after a 6 string. When he wanted to get his hands on a 7 string bass, his first and only thought was Conklin. "I wanted to match the range and versatility of the guitarists in Meyvn. The GTBD-7 allows me to fully double the guitars if needed. I don't know if my next bass will be an 8 string, but I know it will be a Conklin!"
