Transforming Lives Through the Voice of the Electric Bass
Award-winning artist originally from Chile and based in Berlin, Germany, Mauricio Nader has redefined the electric bass as a solo instrument, reaching audiences across Europe and Latin America with his unique blend of artistry, innovation, and emotional depth. Shaped by the challenges of migration, he has built an international career that bridges cultures and inspires transformation.
Winner of Chile’s prestigious Pulsar Prize - the nation’s equivalent of the Grammy - Mauricio has released over twenty albums and live DVDs, and performed at major festivals, concert halls, and with symphony orchestras.
His groundbreaking transcription of Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons for solo electric bass and his acclaimed recording of Bach’s Cello Suites mark milestones in the history of the instrument, while his solo albums, from Solo Pieces for Electric Bass to Our Soul Revealed, showcase both classical repertoire and deeply personal compositions. He is constantly performing concerts, touring internationally, and releasing new music, both as a solo artist and through collaborations with other projects.
A frequent guest speaker, including a TEDx Talk, and endorsed by leading instrument brands, Mauricio continues to inspire audiences worldwide. Even as a solo artist, he actively collaborates with musicians across genres, supporting and contributing to their artistic journeys.

Then we move to "Our Soul Revealed” (2018), which is a collection of own compositions, with the electric bass as the main voice, accompanied by a symphonic orchestra, choir, acoustic guitar, piano, and percussion.
The following path is the release of "J.S. Bach: Cello Suites Performed on Solo Electric Bass" (2022), marking the first time in history that all 36 movements have been recorded on solo Electric Bass, with exceptional sound and performance quality, and the corresponding transcription book.
