About

Celebrate Culture Days with Knowledge Bookstore! Join producer, composer and internationally renowned drummer O’Neil “Drummy” Fuller in an exciting drum & percussion circle. No experience needed. Materials provided or bring your own. All ages welcome!

O’Neil "Drummy" Fuller attended Mayfield S.S of the Arts and later earned an Audio

Production certificate from Trebas Musical Institute. It was evident early out that his

talent was matched with his ambition when in 1999 he started drumming professionally

with the gospel group K Morris and the Jewels; going on to win several Canadian reggae

awards and Juno nominations starting off his musical journey with a bang. Later that year

he backed Grammy award winning Yolanda Adams and Donnie Mclurken; earning him a

solid position for the next five years, as a member of the Explorer Band, who often

backed international artists Sizzla, I-Wayne, Gregory Isaacs, John Holt and Josey

Whales.

After playing for the fifth consecutive year at the Calgary Reggae Festival, ‘Drummy’ is

now focusing his attention on “Full a Sound Studio” which he founded in 2002. The main

focus in the studio at present is the production of musical compositions for home grown

and international talent under the independent (Fullasound records) label. Recently this

very ambitious musician also founded a music school, “Full-A-Sound Music school” in

Toronto. Where he teaches children and adults music through drums, percussion, bass

and guitar, piano and vocal training.
