I have played percussion for over 3o years. I am passionate about adding just the right amount of flavor to the song. Being a percussionist is more than playing congas, it involves being attentive to and listening for what the music is calling for. A chime here, a shaker, or just silence.
I have been the percussionist in the stage play Dream Girls in Denver, CO. I have played in twelve bands and in duets. I am also a background vocalist that can add to the music.
Though my love is Latin music, I am a versatile player with a great ear.
