About Me

Welcome to my space. I'm a drummer, composer, producer and tutor who over the years has played with numerous bands/artists including RHONDA THOMAS (Isaac Hayes) and is musical director for MARTINE GIRAULT (famous for the timeless R&B classic "REVIVAL"). I've had great opportunities like performing at venues such as RONNIE SCOTT'S JAZZ CLUB. I am also band leader for KLOUD 9's UK band for their forthcoming UK concerts. I teach music workshops and drum tutoring in schools around London and the South East. I am also a certified I.T. technician and currently studying Psychotherapy and Counselling.I am part of NU-KONCEPTS, which is an organization creating professional opportunities for musical, visual and performance artists. NU-KONCEPTS believes art is not a luxury but a necessity and the artiste, irrespective of his or her discipline, is fundamental to our social development. Moreover, they play an essential part in improving the dynamics of our society and empowering our youth.
