I have been playing Rock, Dance and Latin tunes for many years. Playing in small bars, at Weddings, Private Parties, Festivals, and Charities. My Father was a drummer and I have memories as a child of band Rehearsals in our Living Room, then one day I found myself on stage it just came naturally. It is Physical work but i do enjoy it. The Members of  In The Mixx Band are talented Professionals, Team Players and it's a Pleasure Performing with them.
