MAGRO
Berlin-based drummer and producer MAGRO's music creates an unusual fusion of acoustically played jazz and produced hip-hop, R'n'B. His project combines many of his musical influences such as Herbie Hancock, J Dilla and Chris Dave. Over the years, Magro has collaborated with numerous artists as a drummer and producer, including Kenny Wesley, J Lamotta, Stimulus, Yvonne Mwale and Kurt Rosenwinkel. In addition, he has been a producer on many of Leona Berlin's albums and singles - including "Wrong Lane (featuring Snoop Dogg)," "Change" and "Leona Berlin." Tours and international festival appearances such as Jazzahead, Tremplin Jazz Avignon, Women in Music Festival Zambia and Havana World Music Festival have taken him around the world.
