___I was born at an early age in a suburb of Atlanta, Georgia in the USA and now live in Stockholm, Sweden. Rhythm has always been fun for me since I learned to play hambone as a kid. I bought my first set of congas/bongos/hand percussion in 1972. Today I play cajón-congas, cajón-bongos, LP compact bongos, djembes, kalimba, hand percussion, mouth harp, kazoo, panflute, keyboard and various unusual instruments. I'm starting to write, compose and arrange songs and I also sing some lead & back vocals and enjoy harmonic overtone and throat singing. Experimenting with sound and new blends are great fun. I consider my strongest side to be my improvisational abilities with my hand drums plus a wider array of interesting tones on the Valter Percussion drums I love to play. ____________________________________________________________ __Played recently at: Stampen with Brian Kramer & Nights of blu-topia; Stampen open-stage; Peru Day at KTH with Tawa Inkari; Berns - Soulmates with St Sebastian & Pablo 100 Hundar; BAR122 with Swedish reggae band Rumprytm; Stampen with Unkool Hillbillies (rock-a-billy!) & Tor Pentén; Tango Charly @ Fridhemsplan with DJs; Roslagen with Chippa & Isabella; Blåkullen tower in Solna with Malin to fantastic electronic music; Årsta Torg plaza with Tor Pentén; Hammarby Rodd near Gullmarsplan with hard rock band Pilotos, reggae band Slag från hjärtat and then DJs.
