The AfroBang sound is inspired by my upbringing as a first-generation African, playing drums in the Tony West and Imani African Dance Company in Columbus, OH, along with my friends, family, and love for hip hop. It fuses influences from traditional West African rhythms, Fela Kuti, James Brown, and William Onyeabor, all the way to Kid Cudi, Migos, Lex Luger, Sango, and many others.

The main objective of this sound is to mash up the vibes from these various influences to create a sound that fully represents the Diaspora as one. Music has always been a powerful unifying force, and I know that AfroBang has and will continue to bring people together around the world.
