Feel the beat

I play the tabla, which is an Indian classical percussion instrument. It is like drums, with a bigger drum and a small drum. It’s something I started playing when I was in [school].

I still play it and I have my guru here in Australia who has been teaching me.

Attack the day

We’re very active people.

[My partner] Devon usually wakes up around four o’clock, goes to the gym. Then he comes back and I’ll go to the gym.

By the time the kids are awake, we both will have smashed our sessions.
