Guitar and Bass Conversations

Bassist Pops Magellan, Laying Down the Low-end for Adam Lambert

With Editor Raúl Amador

I am a big fan of Brazilian music and I remember briefly meeting bassist Pops Magellan at a NAMM show years ago and knew our conversation warranted a longer discussion.

For this cover interview, I sat down with her to learn more about her musical journey, laying down the low-end for Adam Lambert, her new EP “Damage”, how she gets her sound and so much more.

Here is Pops Magellan
