Hello Beautiful People!

It’s been an honor to play music for people all over the world, and live out my passion! A little bit about me -- I have been banging on the drums since I was 8 years old. It was always my dream to play the drums on stage, and that is what I’ve done since I was 16 years old.

I started playing for Michael Franti and Spearhead 22 years ago, and before that I played with Inka Inka, the Mandators, and many others. For some of those years, I was running hard around the world playing some 200 shows a year! I've had some incredible exposure to some of the greats, spending time in the studio with Mickey Thomas of Jefferson Starship, Babatunde Olatunjii, bluegrass great and grammy-award winner Peter Rowan.

Keep your eye out for some new tunes coming in hot! See you soon on the road and rock out!
Big Love, Manas
