Nan was born in Las Vegas. She knew at an early age she wanted to perform music. Although piano was her first
instrument, her passion for drumming quickly surfaced in high school and has dominated her musical interest.
Although the drums have been Nan's forte, her versatility stems from a love of various styles and ethnic music, leading
her to Afro-Cuban & Afro-Brazilian percussion, W. African djembe and dunun, Japanese taiko, Scottish snare drum,
Irish bodhran and many more. Nan lights up any stage with her energy and enthusiasm. Nan is an asset to any stage
she performs on.
