Bio

Nizami plays original music and due to their love of all things dance, they mix up the genres to include Latin, Gypsy, House, Techno, Disco, Funk, Swing, African, Trance and more!

Will (also known as Zaia) played in popular marimba dance band Jambezi and is the percussion leader of the Woodford Festival orchestra since 2014, featuring the marimba in the opening and closing ceremonies.  She has played in a number of community percussion bands and community music remains a favourite pass time. Will has been involved in multiple musical projects involving rhythmic and melodic percussion and has recorded several albums, both solo and with a number of groups. She composes original music with an emphasis on uplifting dance beats.

Michelle played predominantly tuned percussion (glockenspiel, xylophone, timpani drums) from the age of nine in the school concert band, becoming Head Percussionist in Year 12. She participated in the Australian Academy of Music’s annual Queensland Festival of Music throughout that time, where her school concert band often won awards, including best percussion section. Michelle discovered KKarimba in 2012 and met and played with Will for a number of years.

Metta’s bio to come.

As well as playing as a trio, Nizami can also pull in session musicians if desired.
