CHEROKEE
Power Percussionist providing X-tra breaks, beats, rhythm & sound FX
Surrounded by his uniQ and comprehensive set, Power Percussionist Cherokee adds X-tra danceble dimension to the trax. A superb live act, that is musically mindblowing and visually phenomenal.
Started out on the clarinet, this multi instrumentalist masters the sax, guitar, bass, and keys, yet stuck with percussion (for now).
The catching fire and passionate dedication that Cherokee plays the congas, bongos, timbales and other percussive instruments with, caused him to be also known as The Power or Passion Percussionist.
STYLE
His impressively extensive musical background range from playing numerous bands, acts, shows, theatre and studio productions to DJ-ing, sound engineering, composing and producing. It's no surprise Cherokee easily establishes a superb synergy with the DJ onstage.
The uniQ mix 'n match of beats, rhythm and subtle harmonic melodic add-ons creates a striking signature sound and style.
RESUME
For years Cherokee featured in various bands in widely ranging styles. There's virtually no venue, event or stage he hasn't performed at. When he wasn't on the road, his skills were required for studio and theatre productions. This ongoing musical progress subsequently developed into successful gigs with DJ's in clubs and events at present.
