He currently performs around Sydney in his own trio ‘The Burglars’ with vocalist Nick Norton, the current frontman for iconic Aussie band The Angels’.
Osama Moustafa is a solid, versatile drummer who sets the scene and holds a groove for any style of music. He started life as a successful rock drummer before tackling the jazz course at AIM. Since then, he has been performing and recording for singer/songwriters while keeping busy in the Jazz and funk field. His last band was Emergency Powers, a six piece funk with some of the best musicians in the country.
