About Willie Basse:

Willie Basse is a founding member of Black Sheep, the Los Angeles band that has been home to some of rock’s greats including Slash (Guns N’ Roses, Velvet Revolver), James Kottak (Scorpions), Paul Gilbert (Racer-X/Mr. Big), Randy Castillo (Ozzy Osbourne), Mitch Perry (MSG/Talas) and more. Today, Willie is rocking as a solo artist.



With his vast experience and knowledge of the location and the people who have made it known throughout the world, Willie has also affectionately become known as a cultural ambassador of The Sunset Strip, West Hollywood’s most infamous piece of rock and roll real estate. In the early days, he was known for his outrageous parties at his rehearsal studio where many bands, including Guns N’ Roses, LA Guns, Racer-X and Leatherwolf got their start. His motto was “three bands, three kegs and a thousand people”. The parties grew so large that he had to rent The Roxy and The Whisky and this was the beginning of the infamous “Sunset Strip Era.”
