Hi, I’m Chris Baker. I’m a drummer, percussionist, and music educator with over 30 years’ experience across performance, studio work, and teaching. I grew up in Warwickshire with British and Guyanese parents. I started young on drum kit and trombone, and later deepened my craft in Los Angeles, learning the importance of groove, feel, and showing up ready to play. I’ve performed internationally in venues including the Royal Albert Hall, Ronnie Scott’s, and the Arena di Verona, and worked in leading studios across all genres. Alongside performing, I’ve designed and delivered music courses at London colleges and universities, my focus has always been on real human teaching, not tick-box education. I also founded headhandsnfeet, exploring rhythm as a tool for wellbeing. At the core of everything I do is groove, connection, and the human side of sound. Technique matters, but the heart always comes first.
