CONGAHEAD LOVES RIDDIM SEKSHUN!!!!

I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I have always had a deep connection to musical expression and now I have begun a serious search within and around to see what its all about. I have natural rhythmic abilities with a real keen sensitive ear and continuously excercise them. I currently play different drumming styles, Afro-Latin-Carribean, West African and others. I also do studio work, sit in, jam, gig, drum for dance classes and teach. Anything to keep developing the gift I've been blessed with. With my Trinidadian heritage and ancestral influence, I've always been extra enthusiatic specifically about the Afro-Latin-Carribean rhythms and I have been researching their history. I also work with DJs at different club and party events. In addtion to percussion I play a lil keyboard every chance I get. Piano is an important percussion instrument too so I try to stay on top of that also. I am blessed to have been exposed to this world of percussion and have had the opportunity to play with some very talented musicians. Thank you to all that have and continue to show me love and support

My Interests
