Zoe Jeffryes
Zoe’s first experience with African drumming came at a summer singing camp ten years ago. The exhilaration of taking part in drumming workshops at this camp lead her to diversify her musical direction. She began to study African Drumming from then on. She now performs with a drumming group and has been facilitating workshops with Unbeatable Energy for six years.
Zoe is also an experienced vocalist running a community choir in Sheffield for three years. She loves to combine percussion work with her roots in song. She believes that everybody and anybody can make music. In her free time Zoe loves walks in the countryside, spending time having fun with her family, drinking tea and eating, especially chocolate!
