I am a percussionist able to double on several other instruments. I grew up in Miami and was infused with Caribbean, Latin and ska/reggae from an early age. I am seeking a band or other musicians interested in playing world music and/or originals inspired by world music/world beat.

I have jammed with the following groups:
Limelighters (ska, rocksteady)
Jibali Afrika (Kenyan)
members of Inner Circle (reggae)
Umoja (Kenyan)

Influences:

Jack Johnson, Michael Franti, Sublime, Bob Marley, Third World, King Tubby, Fela Kuti, Afro-Cuban Allstars, Fania, Gigi, Aster Aweke, Sublime, Steel Pulse, Jabali Afrika, Luther Vandross (especially Marcus Millers' bass!), War, Earth Wind and Fire . . ..
