“Negus Medhin has been an integral part of the Power Up! Youth Symposium since 2021. Initially providing his services to us through a virtual platform, and then more recently at out our 2023 event he was able to provide the same exceptional service to our participants in person. Whether virtually, or in-person, Negus is a masterful drummer, a true engager, and someone who exemplifies the importance of connecting the past to the present through the arts, healing and culture. We are grateful to know him and honoured to work alongside him every year! “

“The Durham Children’s Aid Foundation (DCAF) assists children, youth and families in the Durham Region living in vulnerable situations. DCAF hosts an annual Free Family Fun Event, Rings of Hope in July, celebrating Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. We have been working with Negus for a couple of years now and he is so accommodating and professional when booking services with him. He brings our Drumming Circle station to life at this event, and the kids always smile and learn when playing with him. He brings such a positive vibe and DCAF is lucky to have sourced him out – he has become a great community partner! “
