About Me

I'm a drummer, percussionist, and I'll write tunes from time to time. I'm from the Bay Area and live in NYC now. Lately I've been into Turkish music, dub, and afrobeat. I like playing music with my friends. Drop me a line if you know of any amazing music I should check out, or if you want to take drum lessons!
