Rafael Padilla
Working and spending time with master percussionist Rafael Padilla changed my life. Rafa was obsessed with the groove. He always searched for the heaviest, deepest pocket in music. He loved life. He was soulful. He had the best stories. Incredible, hilarious, entertaining stories. He is the person who encouraged me to move to Los Angeles. He loved coffee and early morning hikes. On tour, we would explore entire cities looking for the perfect cappuccino.
Thank you for everything Rafa. I will miss you terribly. 💔
