Curtis Nowosad

NYC-based drummer / composer / educator / bandleader

#tbt to my 30th birthday party last month at @smokesessionsrecords (thx again @megannowosad for making it happen & @wdelisfort w/ the cake & hosting assist) First photo of #thetriumvirate in a minute... these are two of my favorite drummers and human beings period, even if none of us ever touched a drumstick again. Big love to the homies @thehc3 & @darrianjdouglas!!!

IMMENSELY proud of this young man, @varundasofficial on performing an amazing graduation recital yesterday at @msm.nyc! It’s been a pleasure working with him this past year at #MSMPrecollege.
