Thabo is a Zimbabwean-born musician, storyteller, and facilitator who brings enthusiasm and joy to every session. With a background in songwriting, performance and immersive art, Thabo has toured with artists like Seal and Anthony Hamilton, collaborated with Idris Elba and Naughty Boy and currently creates performance art and installations alongside Julianknxx and Akeelah Bertram. This work has been presented at Tate Modern, the Barbican, Opera North, Yorkshire Sculpture Park, Gagosian, the Gulbenkian Foundation, Stedelijk Museum, and the Philadelphia Museum of Art.

Finding Rhythms sessions are rooted in collaboration and as such Thabo encourages people to tell their stories in whatever form feels right, whether that’s rap, spoken word, melody, or mood, and to do it in a way that will result in something they will be proud of. For him, a successful session is one where everyone feels relaxed, connected, and free to contribute; where the process of making music is as rewarding as the music itself, and where participants leave having discovered something they didn’t know they could do.

The projects with Finding Rhythms are some of the most rewarding music work I am part of. In a relatively short space of time I get to watch friendships form and people blossom into a realisation that they are more than they thought they were, and are capable of more than they imagined.
