ABOUT ME

---

Between the pulse of The Bahamas and the heartbeat of Jamaica, I lived inside the drum from an early age. It was part of our ceremonies, our healing, and our everyday life. By fifteen, I was performing internationally as a master drummer, sharing the powerful rhythms that shaped me.

My early connection to the drum led me to Ghana, where I trained at the Noyam Institute under grand master drummers and spiritual elders. There, I deepened my understanding of the drum, not just as an instrument, but as a healing and transformative force grounded in ancient tradition.

My love for Indigenous cultures and traditional instruments later took me to Australia, where I lived among Aboriginal communities, learned rhythms that tell the stories of the land, and mastered the didgeridoo. These sounds and teachings became an integral part of my one-of-a-kind performances, blending African rhythm and cultural storytelling.

This distinctive way of sharing rhythm and story has brought me to some of the world’s most celebrated cultural spaces, including Carnegie Hall, BAM, the Sydney Opera House, and the Maui Arts & Cultural Center. I’ve also brought the drum’s vibrant heartbeat to powerful moments such as Ava DuVernay’s ARRAY 10th Anniversary Celebration.

As a drumming and cultural consultant, I’ve contributed to HBO’s Ritual (starring Jennifer Grey) and I'm currently working on the upcoming documentary The Power of the Drum.

I’m also the founder of The Healing Drum Circle, an interactive program used in recovery centers and institutions serving at-risk youth across California. Drawing on a deep understanding of Indigenous West African and Caribbean rhythms, I use specific rhythmic patterns known for their healing properties to help individuals reconnect with their inner strength and move toward resilience.

Now based in Los Angeles, I lead workshops, retreats, and performances both locally and internationally.

I also collaborate with business owners and organizations to cultivate healthy work environments, encourage teamwork, strengthen communication, and support emotional well-being.

Whether I’m guiding teams to release stress and avoid burnout or helping leaders build intentional workplace cultures, each session offers a pathway back to balance through the drum.

"With me, it’s never just a workshop or performance. It’s a rhythmic healing journey through the diaspora, and I invite others to travel with me to reconnect, release, and heal through the power of the drum."
