Cyber Phoenix composed by Diego Rodoni performed by Diego Rodoni and Kyle Hughes Diego has been a good friend and colleague for many years. Last year, I acquired a handpan, which we both love. This is the first composition from him for seaboard and handpan, so look forward to seeing more down the road.
Nazar by Kevin Keith performed by Kyle Hughes, marimba Kevin Keith, voice So, about a year and a half ago, I did a commissions project for marimba solos; the results were incredible. Each solo was unique and brilliant. However, due to work I wasn't really able to record/finish learning most of them.

I have studied and performed as percussionist for over ten years. My first experience performing was with the Rugare Marimba Ensemble, when I was in elementary school. With experience in a wide range of classical, ethnic, and modern percussion instruments and music styles, I am comfortable performing live and for recordings. You can see recent performances and recordings above.
