Carlo Panti

Carlo's love for jazz fusion as a young boy only deepened when his dad bought him his first drum kit and enrolled him and his brothers in Manila's Yamaha School of Music. Every day he blared his mom's old record player, duplicating drum licks of Steve Gadd, Harvey Mason, Alphounse Mouzon and Styx Hooper.

In college, Carlo toured the islands of Hawaii with the brass and pep bands, performing nightly in front of hundreds. He even had the opportunity to perform for George W. Bush during a presidential visit to the islands. Since then, Carlo has performed with countless groups like "The Radical Liz", "Dr. Kim & The Rice Noodles", "Higherground" and "The Walastix". It was only recently when Carlo re-joined "Twenty Four VII" (formerly "Funkology") with musicians James and Fabian.
