BIO:

Timur Yusef is currently based in London after many years in Boston, New York City and Berlin, playing drums in a number of projects.

CREDITS:

I would first of all like to thank my family and friends in particular for their unerring love and support.

I would also like to acknowledge the great support I’ve received from the music community in New York City, the rest of the USA, England and from all other countries from around the globe that I owe a debt of gratitude to.

Finally, I would like to salute the many people who have influenced and inspired me in music and continue to do so. People that I never met, those I have met and my friends here in the city.
