Abe Rounds is drummer, bass player, song writer and producer from Sydney, but now living in LA. Abe first picked up drum sticks and started playing when he was 1 year old. His father is legendary Sydney bass player, Victor Rounds so as you can imagine, there was music in the house right from the beginning. Jamming with Victor's musicians friends was common place so there was invaluable lessons learned.  Abe went to Newtown Performing Arts school and also studied with local drumming legends. He was playing clubs from the age of 16 and cutting his teeth in the Sydney music scene.  Then he decided he wanted to go to Berklee School of Music in Boston. So at the age of 20 he left Sydney for the US.  It was there that he met Meshell Ndegeocello who came to Berklee do do a masterclass and Abe was chosen to play with her. From there, Meshell asked Abe to join her band full-time which he still does to this day.  Abe has also gone on to play with Seal, Doyle Brahmall, Blake Mills, Pino Palladino, Madison Cunningham, Mike Elizondo, Jeff Babko and many others.  Abe and his friend Jake Sherman have their own original project called Jake and Abe.
