Multi instrumentalist and producer based in Halifax, Nova Scotia. My background spans Middle Eastern percussion (darbuka, cajon), bass, guitar, keyboards, and electronic drums, with a major focus on electronic music production. I’m currently building a Rai fusion band that blends traditional North African rhythms with funk, jazz, progressive rock, and electronic textures. I enjoy collaborating with versatile musicians, role?swapping on stage, and creating dynamic live performances that combine organic percussion with modern electronic grooves.
