He blends a range of musical styles with unusual instruments to produce his distinctive music. These inventive recordings reflect his beliefs that he and other Africans have unique sounds to share with the world. He records sound effects from a range of unusual sources around him and shares music with Telem, the collective for musicians he co-founded.
