I drum to awaken the spirits in love

About Me

Drumming is the ancient language of our ancestors. I made it my life long quest to master it. Over the past twenty years I have worked with so many wonderful people, some of them known and some of them not so known but all of them very special to me. That's why I choose not to drop names here. Instead I would like to share the love I have expierenced in having such a wonderful life as a musician.I have met people from all walks of life. I have toured Europe, Japan, The Carribean, Central America and The USA. I have worked playing Jazz, R&B, Neo-Soul, Rap, West African, Pop, Haitian and Afro-Cuban music,and the experiences just keep on coming. All praise be to Mother God/Father God and the Spirits. so keep the phone calls coming.
I proudly play Gretsch Drums, Remo Drumheads, VicFirth Sticks and Brushes and Agop Istanbul Cymbals !
eXonda, the hottest up and coming band has entered the gretsch competition with our new song "warning you". please show your love and vote. voting begins june 15th.
