DORA award-winning, JUNO-nominated vocalist Suba Sankaran’s musical career began at an early age while studying south Indian classical music and percussion with her father, master drummer Trichy Sankaran. She has composed, recorded and produced music for theatre, film, radio, and for south Indian and modern dance. OMC was lucky to have her on the faculty for Week One this summer! Ed Hanley began his tabla training in Toronto, Canada with Ritesh Das, and has studied with master drummers all over the world. Ed has composed, produced, and engineered a number of compositions for dance and film out of his own studio, and has co-produced two autorickshaw albums with Suba.
