I’m a passionate percussionist with a rich history of mastering rhythms from around the world. My journey began with African instruments like the Djembé, Talking Drum, and Shekere, and has since expanded to the Middle Eastern and Asian sounds of the Darbuka, Turkish Dhol, and Santoor.
In Latin and South American percussion, I bring the vibrant beats of Brazil's Timbao and Repenique, Cuba's Bongó and Congas, Colombia's Tambor Alegre and Guiro, and the Andes' Bombo Leguero and Cajón to life. Additionally, I incorporate various other instruments like the Agogo, Apito, Cuica, Jamblocks, and Cowbell to create a diverse and immersive musical experience.
With every performance, I aim to connect people through rhythm, creating unforgettable experiences that resonate with audiences long after the last beat. Whether it’s for a grand event, a cultural celebration, or an intimate gathering, my percussion skills will elevate your occasion with energy and authenticity.
