Question and answer
Q. Why does your work stand out from others who do what you do?
A. I have been playing drums/percussion for 16 years now. I have been educated and honed my craft being involved in concert band, drum core, Jazz groups, and playing as a professional freelance drummer for the last 5 years. I can play all styles of music in my own unique voice. Understanding the music business is also another asset I attain that makes me a complete musician.
Q. What do you like most about your job?
A. I actually LOVE my job. Music is my passion. It isn't work for me at all so making money doing something I love is the best part. I also like the fact that I play with so many different musicians in so many different musical situations. This keeps it interesting as I would get a bit bored doing the same thing over and over again. Music is my life.
