Hailed by the New York Times for his “dazzling improvisations” and his “wizardry on a range of humble frame drums” Yousif Sheronick enjoys an active career as percussionist, composer, producer and educator. Yousif holds degrees from Yale University and the University of Iowa, and later was able to study music from Brazil, India, Africa and the Middle East which he seamlessly incorporates into his playing. He has appeared throughout North and South America, Europe, Middle East, Asia and Australia. ​Yousif’s unique skills in both World and Classical music have led him to perform with a diverse range of ensembles and musicians.
 
Always wanting to build bridges through music, Yousif has become a major force in bringing world percussion into contemporary/classical music. As a composer himself, Yousif’s compositions have been premiered and performed around the world at both the collegiate and professional level. He is also in demand as an educator. With increasing demand from drummers around the world, Yousif established his online frame drum school, www.framedrumschool.org. He has also conducted residencies and master classes at some of the top music universities in the United States and Australia. At present, Yousif is actively promoting the amalgamation of “World Music” and chamber music.
