CC, whose real is name Sheryl Wilson, is a professional bassist who inspires other
musicians to improve their playing confidence. Like many musicians, CC’s journey began as a
childhood dream of becoming a rock star, ‘playing’ John Mellencamp songs on a tennis racquet ‘guitar.’ Inspired by the complex bass lines in songs by Iron Maiden and Rush, CC began learning to play the bass guitar at the age of 12. From learning heavy metal songs by ear to playing fun gigs with teen bands, CC’s life revolved around music.
CC went on to play bass in the U.S. Navy Band San Diego and has over 12 years of professional experience performing Jazz, Top 40 Pop, and Latin music. She is a highly
sought-after musician in the Washington, D.C. metro area, where she currently resides.
