Biography

I’m a 17 Year old drummer from South East London. I’m currently a student at the BRIT School and was recently the only female finalist in the UK’s Young Drummer of the Year competition.

I play all kinds of music, but my favourites are Jazz Fusion, Funk and Afrobeat and I’m heavily inspired by the likes of Yussef Dayes, Tony Allen, Larnell Lewis and Anika Nilles.

I regularly gig all over London with my band Ramfunk and recently performed in Germany with Youthsayers at the Freedom Sounds Festival. I also play for several other artists, including House of Women and MEELO.

Last year, I had the incredible opportunity to perform at the Royal Albert Hall with Ramfunk, and we’ve just finished recording our debut EP.
