Born in Zimbabwe, Mike began his musical life with the rhythms of Southern Africa, practicing a variety of musical disciplines since 1998.
In 2015 his passion drifted westward to discover the djembe, and intensified when he moved to Melbourne and continued his learning under Simon Fraser and Bassidi Koné.
He has been teaching our popular group djembe classes, from beginner through to advanced levels, and is loved for his infectious positive energy and supportive teaching style.
Djulz has travelled West Africa extensively, studying with master drummers and musicians in Mali, Ghana, and Burkina Faso.
Based in Melbourne, Djulz continues to study, teach, and perform with some of Australia’s most renown artists.
She also brings drumming into education and wellness settings, leading professional development and facilitator training courses, helping teachers to lead ensembles and weave the benefits of drumming into their curriculum.
We can often make it work. Reach out and we’ll see if we can arrange a face-to-face session, or set something up online.
Yes, absolutely. We’re happy to run a session for two, with the rate adjusted so it’s easier than booking individually.
We teach djembe, dunun, balafon, handpan & hang drum, talking drum, aslatua, Kora, African flutes and many more instruments.
