Ian is a Brazilian percussionist whose musical identity is rooted in rhythm, community, and movement. For him, music is not something you simply hear — it is something you feel. A universal language that connects cultures, generations, and histories, music acts as a bridge between his roots and the wider world.
His playing carries the energy of the street, the discipline of collective percussion, and the expressive power of groove.
Ian focuses on the balance between technique and swing:
Playing the right notes is only the beginning
Groove is what makes people move
Emotion and intention matter as much as precision
His teaching emphasizes expressive rhythm, embodied timing, and understanding how sound communicates feeling, not just information.
