my story

For as long as I can remember, I’ve been having fun behind a drum kit.

I’VE ALWAYS BEEN FASCINATED BY THE DRUMS, BUT SOMEWHERE ALONG THE WAY, I REALIZED MY PASSION FOR PERCUSSION WASN’T JUST ABOUT KEEPING TIME. IT WAS ABOUT USING RHYTHM TO ENTERTAIN, TO SURPRISE, AND TO TELL STORIES. 

During the pandemic, I started posting videos of myself playing drums to social media. Combining this with my love of comedy, I began experimenting by drumming along to routines of my favorite standup comedians. I called it “Rhythms of Comedy.”

 

Almost immediately the videos started gaining traction and before I knew it, I was connecting with fans from all around the world.  

 

As time went on I began experimenting more with new sounds and textures, eventually developing my own style of foley, or, the art of creating sound effects. Since then, “Drum Comedy” has become a mainstay across all major social media platforms, one of the most consistently viral formats on the web.

No matter where I am in the world, everyone I meet now says “oh yes, I’ve seen this!”  

 

I’ve been a guest of the President at The White House, starred in a Super Bowl Commercial, collaborated with some of the world’s biggest A-listers, and built an incredible community of millions all from short, sweet, joyful content.  

 

Today, I’m excited to keep pushing creative boundaries, communicating through my instrument in unique ways, and inspiring the next generation of creative musicians as best I can.
