ABOUT

I have excellent skills in Drums and Percussion for Latin/Jazz, Funk, Fusion, Ska, Reggae, and many other genres. Looking for a committed group of professionals to play live with. I absolutely love all music and am up for any challenge. I can read and write music, and have a fantastic ear.

Ia've played music for many years and have toured the western US from LA to Colorado.

Previous bands:
SOMOS (Latin Funk/Soul)
11:15 (R&B)
Thee Joan Wylder (Ska)

I've also instructed at Gilroy High School and have given private lessons. Among other achievements, I was the recipient of "Outstanding Musician" honor at the Cal State Hayward Jazz Festival. I specialize in funk and latin styles.
