Nigel Maynard has been a drummer for almost 40 years. Originally being grounded in Funk, Hip Hop, and Reggae. He quickly learned that there was much more variables in music that had it's own flavour in which he soon learned to adapt to. After studying at Humber College for Music and Sound Reinforcement, he had become quickly fond of styles such as jazz, Latin, rock, blues, and yes.. truth be told… Country music as well. This collage of musical genres began to fuse into him. Back tracking a bit, - Nigel also discovered about “Gospel Music" around the age of 12 - and he realised that this style of music, not only being uplifting and nurturing for the spirit... also had a depth and attraction like no other. He soon learned how to express himself in this musical genre in turn. Going to churches in the Greater Toronto Area – contemporary styles of worship to liturgical styles, to modern styles, hymns, soul southern styles – to choirs – he has learned to mesh in and find his own means to express his soul and spirit in that medium. Nigel still currently resides in the Greater Toronto Area, teaches at his studio, as well as at a couple different teaching facilities, and is always on the go. Traveling locally, and internationally to various places between Canada, the US, and Europe, he has come to appreciate the different ways that people express their music – and looks forward to leaving his one expression of music, that would bless many others for years to come.
