Lawrence V. White

Lawrence's first musical inklings were on the drums at 5 years old in a small church where his grandfather was pastor. After graduating high school and attending college, he started playing bass for college and gospel community choirs and top 40 bands. He has since appeared on over 100 recordings, has released his own music and is currently touring with R & B sensation John The Violinist.

Mark Manczuk

Mark began playing drums professionally at the age of 15, and has earned a reputation as a first-call drummer and educator on both east and west coasts. His passion for percussion also led him to study the tabla with Pandit Anindo Chatterjee, bringing a worldly ecclecticism to his rock and funk drumming chops. Mark also currently plays as a member of JME STRCHILD and DREAM FACTORY.
