Tober Schorr has been studying West African Mande music since 1999. He started playing drum sets when he was about 16, and later, he would try the djembe. He served in the Peace Corps in Mozambique before moving to Boulder a little over 20 years ago. One of the reasons he moved there was because of the African drum and dance scene that was so prevalent there.
Once he moved there, he started studying under African drummers Abdoul Doumbia and Fara Tolno, and he eventually decided to become a professional musician in his early 30s. He graduated from Metro State in 2013 with a second bachelor’s, studying jazz there under Ron Miles and Paul Romaine, and he got the idea of mixing African music with American jazz concepts. In 2017, he started writing music more seriously after getting a pro deal on the music software Finale. In 2018, he joined a funk band as a keyboardist, which gave him more motivation to write the songs he was most passionate about.
