Born and raised in the UK of English-Nigerian parentage, I grew up listening to mostly African music and later developed a strong interest in various experimental / avant garde genres. ​My musical journey began aged 11, as a self-taught guitarist, although I naturally gravitated towards drums during my early twenties. I was lucky to be trained by traditional Yoruba talking drum masters, many of whom featured on the records I&#39;d listened to as a youth. I also worked many other African Pro-percussionists in the 1990&#39;s. My drumming foundations are firmly rooted in playing frequently at all-night African community events as well as in African Theatre. ​ Notably, I&#39;m an accomplished studio engineer/producer, having originally trained at London&#39;s old Matrix Studios network. I gained priceless experience working with a wide array of top engineers, producers and major artists from around the world. All my studio work is now freelance. In the current climate I now offer remote recording sessions. ​ I dedicate my working life to my two main passions: African Drumming and Music Technology, both of which I teach regularly. Artists I&#39;ve worked with include​ Tony Allen, Mulatu Astatke, Seun Kuti, Sting, Mark de Clive-Lowe, Natty, to name a few. I love to perform, record, travel and share my enthusiasm with others. #Nigeria #Drums #Talkingdrums #Music Support this podcast at — <a rel='payment' href='https://redcircle.com/ifcomediansruledtheworld/donations'>https://redcircle.com/ifcomediansruledtheworld/donations</a>
