I was born in Guinea Conakry in the 70s from the Susu lineage originally known has the Warrior tribes of lower coast Guinea.
 
I started playing djembe when he was 8 years old.  I already had found my true passion... enough that I started skipping school to spend 7 to 9 hrs per day playing for dance ensemble and learning from Great Renown Masters.

I performed a lot as a teenager and quickly got recruited by Private & National Troup performance groups such as: Ballet Tayelly and Ballet National Djoliba of Guinea Conakry.  It brought me around the world during their international tours and for the first time to Canada in 2001 for the Francophonie Games, the Festival des Nuits d’Afrique of Montreal,  the Night African Fest, and along the Guinea soccer team with whom I also toured.  I played with great singers like Moury Djeli, Djeli Kanifanta Kouyate and Amadou Acordeon and many other African stars.

In my 30s,  I kept travelling with different groups around the world and recorded the Mandeing Djara album with Mamady Keita before moving to Japan to teach at the renown school ‘Tam Tam Mandeing Japan’.  While living in Kagoshima, I also thought in Tokyo and two different universities.  I also travelled to teach and perform in Hong Kong,  the U.S.A. and Canada.

In 2013, I came to Toronto, Canada to teach and play.   In 2015, I moved to British Columbia and I currently teach Djembe & Dun Dun classes in Vancouver.
