Most praised for his unique style and unerring consistency as a drummer, Tuur has developed a highly diversified artistic palette ranging from jazz and latin to African and Brazilian music. He mesmerizes audiences, performing in a deeply charged pace that begets soulful perfection. His love for travel complemented with opportunities to perform live in various countries continue to expose him to differing styles and rhythms which had initially lead to the development of his signature style and is part of the reason why the powerful, innovative and creative core of his music speaks perfectly to the demands of the new collective music. Born in 1985 in Duffel, Belgium, music has been a pervasive presence in Tuur’s upbringing, during which his father, passionate for the blues, played the guitar and drums while his mother was immersed in her love for world music. She would take Tuur as a child of 3 to an annual world music festival, Sfinks, where Tuur could admire masters like Ali Farka Touré, Salif Keita, Youssou N’Dour, Baba Maal, Goran Bregovic, Rubén Gonzáles… Tuur studied Jazz and World music at the Rotterdam Conservatory CODARTS (NL) and won the Erasmus Jazz Price in 2009. Today Tuur performs as a drummer worldwide with artists like Teus Nobel, Jorge Pardo, Munir Hossn, Mehdi Nassouli, Antonio Lizana and more. He composes music, resulting in a beautiful album 'Nebula' in collaboration with João Frade (PT) (accordeonist Mariza), Munir Hossn (BR) and Thomas Maes (BE).
