I am a multi-instrumental professional percussionist based in the San Francisco Bay Area. I graduated in Percussion Performance BFA at the California Institute of the Arts (CalArts) in Valencia, California, and have been studying Percussion for over 18 years. I currently perform with several groups in the San Francisco Bay Area, teach percussion lessons, and study Tabla with Pandit Swapan Chaudhuri at the Ali Akbar College of Music in San Rafael. As a multi-instrumental percussionist, I am able to competently and comfortably play a variety of drums bringing to each project I collaborate in the precise sound it needs.
