Sidney Werner was born in Berlin in 1993. He started playing the electric bass along to his favourite recordings when he was twelve years old, and later went on to study upright bass at the Jazz-Institute in Berlin with Greg Cohen and Marc Muellbauer.
Over the years he has become a sought after sideman in a variety of musical styles, from jazz to accompanying singer songwriters, to more experimental endeavours, always providing a strong foundation and an individual sense of sensitivity to the given musical context.
He has played and toured extensively with projects such as "Far East Trio", Chris Dahlgren’s "Dhalgren", “Natalie Greffel", "Hund und Hybris", and was the backbone of the "Omniversal Earkestra" for 6 years, playing every Monday in various clubs in Berlin.
He has recently focused more on recording bass experiments, his solo project "Billy the Mountain", and his noise/experimental Duo "Wirecutter" with Michael Hoppe, whose debut "little faith" (Boomslang records) releases on February 24th 2023.
