I started to play the drums at 7 years old, my father (his artist name was Kozak) was a drummer until I was born, and my son is playing too. I learned drums playing on vinyls records and CDs Billy Cobham, Level 42,Spirogyra, Chick Corea, Deep Purple, Michael Jackson etc... I played in a big band when I was 11 years old, then I met lot of groove project (P funk/African/Arabic projects) and rock projects....I actually played with Khaled since 15 years old and have played with many projects as FEFE, CHEICK, TIDIANE SECK, BLACK EYED PEAS, KELIS, ROY AYERS, SANDRA NKAKE, JUAN ROZOFF, CHARLIE WINSTON, VIANNEY etc.
