I got my first handpan, a D Kurd 9 (the classic beginner handpan).
So in love with the handpan, I was eager to get one with a lot more notes. I got my second handpan, an E SaByeD 17 (meaning 17 notes). I opted for a major scale this time.
I started playing handpan as a music therapist at nursing homes. I go once a week as a volunteer to play.
I started playing handpan at local businesses and coffee shops. The one I play most often at is an EESystem Center in Spring, TX.
I have really gravitated towards drums in the last few years. Besides my 2 handpans, I also have an Ocean Drum and a 20" Buffalo-Skin Hand Drum. I love the way I connect to the different drums, and the different healing properties that they have. They each call to me at different times depending on what kind of medicine I need in the moment. Pictured on the right is a Cow-Skin Hand Drum that I tried out at a Wellness Expo.
I can come play at your home or business. I travel around the Greater Houston area (Spring, Woodlands, Conroe, Huntsville, etc.). I do 1hr sets. Send me a message, and I will get back to you!
