Bassist, composer, music educator, researcher

Since returning to Pretoria, I’ve been focused on settling in to the challenges of the new teaching gig,
nonetheless opportunities to play have been much appreciated. I have reunited with colleagues
like Karén Devroop, Godfrey Mgcina, Mageshen Naidoo, and others.
