The djembe sets my soul free — like a bird soaring through the clouds — and connects me to people in the most joyous and uplifting way. I love drumming with all my heart. Like so many who are drawn to the djembe, I find myself smiling and laughing when I play; it’s a music that lifts the spirit and brings people together.

When I’m not immersed in the world of rhythm, I spend my time reading, meditating, practicing yoga, enjoying nature, socializing with friends, cooking, dancing, writing poetry, practicing martial arts, doting on my cat, wandering through deep forests, or backstroking in vast oceans. In short, I live and love every moment to the fullest.

My passion for drumming is not just about the music — it’s about community, connection, healing, and joy. Whether I’m performing, teaching, or simply drumming for the love of it, my mission is to share this incredible art form and help others find their own rhythm.
