Timeline

1964

Victor Lemonte Wooten (born September 11, 1964) is an American bassist, songwriter, and record producer.

1972

The family settled in Newport News, Virginia, in 1972.

1982

Wooten graduated from Denbigh High School in 1982.

While in high school, he and his brothers played in the country music venue at Busch Gardens theme park in Williamsburg, Virginia.

1983

His most famous Fodera, a 1983 Monarch Deluxe he refers to as "number 1," sports a Kahler Tremolo System model 2400 bridge.

Fodera's "Yin Yang" basses (co-designed by and created for Wooten) incorporates the Yin Yang symbol—which Wooten uses in various media—as a focal point of the top's design and construction.

The symbol is created from two pieces of naturally finished wood (Ebony and Holly, for example), fitted together to create the Yin-Yang pattern.

As well as playing electric bass (both fretted and fretless) and the double bass, he played cello in high school.

1987

In 1987, he traveled to Nashville, Tennessee, to visit friends that he made at the theme park.

One of them was a studio engineer who introduced him to Béla Fleck, with whom he has often collaborated.

1988

He has been the bassist for Béla Fleck and the Flecktones since the group's formation in 1988 and a member of the band SMV with two other bassists, Stanley Clarke and Marcus Miller.

1990

The two bassists have been teaching together since the early 1990s.

2000

In 2000, Wooten created a music program called Bass/Nature camp that was expanded into Victor Wooten's Center for Music and Nature and includes all instruments.

His camps are at Wooten Woods, a 147-acre retreat in Only, Tennessee, near Nashville.

Wooten co-leads the "Victor Wooten/Berklee Summer Bass Workshop" at Berklee College of Music in Boston.

At Berklee and his own camps, he collaborates with Berklee Bass Department chair, Steve Bailey.

2011

In 2011, he was ranked No. 10 in the Top 10 Bassists of All Time by Rolling Stone magazine.

2012

He still plays cello occasionally with the Flecktones as well as in the 2012 Sword and Stone/Words and Tones tour.

He owns Vix Records, which releases his albums.

He wrote the novel The Music Lesson: A Spiritual Search for Growth Through Music.

Wooten is the recipient of five Grammy Awards.

He won the Bass Player of the Year award from Bass Player magazine three times and is the first person to win the award more than once.

2018

In 2018–2019 Wooten was diagnosed with a rare neurological condition called focal dystonia in his hands and upper body, which had been limiting his ability to play in previous years, but has since abated somewhat.

Born to Dorothy and Elijah Wooten, Victor is the youngest of the five Wooten brothers; Regi, Roy, Rudy, and Joseph Wooten are all musicians.

Regi began to teach Victor to play bass when he was two, and by the age of six, he was performing with his brothers in their family band, The Wooten Brothers Band.

As a United States Air Force family, they moved often when Wooten was young.
