Forrest Giberson grew up outside of Seattle and began playing bass at an early age. Forest furthered his studies at the University of Miami where he received a bachelor of music degree in Studio Music and Jazz with specialization in performance, music theory, music history and composition. While in school Forrest played in a number of jazz combos and local rock bands in and around the Florida area.

After relocating back in the Seattle area Forrest has lent his outstanding talents to a number of genre crossing musical projects. As a member of Spirit Tuck, with local musicians John Wicks and Michael Stegner Forrest was part of the burgeoning "nu jazz movement" . This group was described as “a trio of all-star players who pump out the sound of drum 'n' bass-style rhythms, hiphop/raregroove-style electric bass, with the magical sound of classically jazzy Rhodes and synth," by Victortrey, manager and booker at the Chai House, where the band held down a Tueseday night regular gig for over a year, playing to standing room only crowds.
