The 26-year-old bassist said he finds it 'challenging' when the superstar singer asks him to play a random tune on the spot.

"Bruno will call me up and play some piano over the phone to see what I think of his ideas, and he'll ask where he should go from there."

"Or I'll go into the studio and he'll have basic parts that he wants me to jam out on and do my thing. Most challenging is when he has me start a song out of nowhere, in any key with any groove or vibe," he said.
