At 19 years old, I was hired as a full time musician, to play the washboard and the drum set , it was at this time, that I invented my signature washboard instrument, and polished my washboard technique.
In 1993, I founded “Sun Side Jazz Band”, the band released two albums. I also traveled in and around Africa, especially Senegal.
In 2004/2005, I moved to New York, where I toured with David Grisman and played with Paquito de Rivera, Dorado Schmitt, Angelo Debarre, Scott Robinson, Gil Goldstein, etc … at Birdland, Lincoln Center, Joe's Pub, Iridium, Satalla, Crash Mansion and festivals in Montreal, Rochester, Montreux, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago, Detroit, Seattle, Portland, Austin SXSW...
