Si is tenaciously committed to the spirt of music. He lives and breathes rhythm, is constantly inquisitive and up for exploring new grooves, new places & new sonic realms. Every gig is about surfing the edge between the known and the unknown. Riding that ecstatic point that all creativity is born from.

Single handedly he combines Flamenco Guitar, Didgeridoo, Drum kit, Harmonic Flute, Naked Voice & vocal percussion into seamless improvised musical voyages. Expect high energy dance vibes & deep emotive passages.

Twenty years kicking it on the biggest dance floors of the world with his band Wild Marmalade has infused every molecule of Si with a beat that is hard to resist.

His primal earthy grooves evoke the w i l d s p i r i t in us.
