For Aaron, the drum is a powerful language of connection.

A master drummer, cultural educator & community practitioner, shaped by West African and Afro-Caribbean traditions, Aaron brings the drum into cultural spaces, conversations, and communities where people can learn, connect, and experience the shared power of rhythm.   

Explore Aaron's Journey

A Life Shaped by Rhythm

Aaron was raised in the rhythms of Jamaica, where the drum was part of everyday life — shaping ceremony, celebration, communication, and culture. 


For Aaron, the drum became a way of life from an early age. As a young drummer, he began performing internationally which eventually led him to travel to Ghana to study at the Noyam Institute and train with grand masters and master drummers. His journey with the drum has taken him to some of the world’s celebrated cultural spaces including Carnegie Hall, BAM, the Sydney Opera House, ARRAY, and the Maui Arts & Cultural Center. 


Today, Aaron brings that knowledge and experience into  cultural programs, conversations, and community-based experiences. He has worked with the University of Arizona, LACER Afterschool Beyond the Bell, community organizations serving young people and underserved communities, and offered drum consulting for educational and creative projects.
