BIOGRAFIA
I began to play drums a the age of 9. Several years later I started focussing more on Percussion and after finishing school I decided to travel to get more information about my new passion. Especially Cuba was an amazing experience full of music, Afro Cuban Percussion and adventure. I stayed for almost a year. Then I moved to Brasil and also to Senegal to play some Djembe. Working already as a professional musician I finished my Diploma at the Zürich Jazz School in 2005.
I had the pleasure to work with some interesting artists and bands, like:
- Lariba
- Lovebugs
- Namusoke a.k.a. Msoke
- Alina Amuri
- Uglybraine (USA)
- Retrovisor (Colombia)
- The Voice of Switzerland Band
- Superstar
- Mangu (Dom. Rep)
- Marc Sway
-Nubya
- Mercadonegro
- Müslüm
- Swiss Jazz Orchestra
- El Zorro & Angel Bonne
- Musical Fame & Grease

- Pepe Justicia
- Solo Dos
- Rodry-Go
- Stephan Kurman Strings
- Dani Felber Big Band / Partyband

2005 I founded my own band: LARIBA. A transglobal fusion of Reggae, Salsa, Rap, Brasil and Jazz.
I'm playing Congas, Timbales, Bongos, Batàs, Cajon, Pandeiro, Djembée, and many small percussion instruments. Sometimes also some Drums and Piano.
I never cared about boundaries, I always played and listened to different styles. As long as they are played well. So I found myself in different projects playing Flamenco, Salsa, Pop, Musical, Jazz, Funk, Brasil, Rock, Hip Hop or even some classical adventures.
