I grew up during the Golden Age of Hip-Hop and Neo Soul, and in my teens, I began taking a few drum lessons, concentrating on snare rudiments, and keeping time, which is now my forte.

As a young adult, I began to concentrate, specifically on Bop Jazz, with a few more drum lessons, and music theory classes, from acclaimed drum instructors, and outstanding music teachers. 

The combination of the head-knocking music I was raised on, with the hard swinging Hard Bop that I love, created my unique funky Hard Bop swing, that I am sure you will also dig.
