Born David Adu Berko and known professionally as Aduberks, the Ghana-based drummer and producer has steadily carved out a unique space in contemporary African music. His journey into rhythm began early, playing in church and spending countless hours watching seasoned musicians at his father’s recording studio. Those formative moments planted the seed for a lifelong love for music.
