“In my mother’s womb, my artistic journey unfolds—a timeless legacy from father to son. I was immersed in the enchanting sounds of the djembe and West Africa’s graceful dance, guided by the wisdom of my parents. On Detroit’s eastside, they tied the drum around my waist, sparking creativity. Drumming, song, and dance became cherished companions for life’s moments. Following my father’s path, I share stages with music stars, spreading joyous rhythms. Teaching children of all ages, I pass on the wisdom of our heritage. It’s a heartwarming journey painted with love and the enduring magic of Africa.”
