Bass is Base

Bass is Base was a Canadian R&B group from Toronto, Ontario, active during the 1990s.

The band consisted of Chin Injeti on bass, Ivana Santilli on keyboards, and MC Mystic (Roger Mooking) on percussion. All three members contributed vocals, Injeti and Santilli as singers and Mystic as a rapper.

In addition to the early single "Funkmobile", which garnered the band a deal with A&M Records, the band had one breakout top 40 hit, "I Cry". Their debut album, First Impressions for the Bottom Jigglers, won a Juno Award in the Best R&B/Soul Recording category in 1995.

Santilli went on to a successful solo career, having now released three critically acclaimed albums. Injeti works as a producer and bass player; in 2005 he produced "hick-hop" artist Ridley Bent's debut release, Blam. Mooking briefly left the music business, and now works as an acclaimed chef in Toronto.[1] He is currently an Executive Chef and Co-owner/partner at Kultura, Eatalia and Nyood. He is the host of a new television show on the Food Network called Everyday Exotic.[1] He also released an album of new material entitled Soul Food (September 2008).
