My first teacher Lartey Largo is an exceptional kpanlogo drummer from Ghana. This drum sounds and feels similar to the conga drum that later on would take such an important part of my life... At the age of 18 I got to know brilliant percussionist / conguero Christian Fehre who opened the door and introduced me to the beauty of Latin American percussion. My attention to the beautiful conga drum started to grow... After visiting Cuba with my father 1997, I fell in love with Cuban percussion. Therefore, In 2000 I moved to the Netherlands and started my education for a bachelor degree of latin percussion at the Rotterdam Conservatory for Music, Codarts. Excellent percussionists / teachers such as Nils Fischer, Martin Verdonk, Lucas van Merwijk and Dirk Hauptmann, were great inspiration for my further development.
