Latest Drum News
Born and raised on the south side of Chicago, I found my love for playing drums in church at the age of 2. Growing up everything I passed was a drum. Down the years this hunger/passion never died and with the help of God I’ve been blessed to work with some pretty amazing artist like: Teedra Moses, Chrisette Michele, Syleena Johnson, Sir The Baptist, The Walls Group, Kierra Sheard, Dorinda Clark, Tommy Sims, Kurt Carr & many more. I’m currently playing for James Fortune & fiya.
