Khabu began twanging on a toy ukulele as a young boy. When the instrument disappeared from sight and mind, a long period of emptiness and vacancy began. And then one fine summer day in Bozeman MT, many years later, Harold presented a baritone ukulele to Khabu at a family gathering. Harold (Khabu’s wife’s grandfather) became herald to a new multi-colored age of minstrel-dom for ‘Bhu’. Bhu spent many long summer days uking around his East Village neighborhood gardens. He continues to improvise, compose, arrange/derange, and teach (much like he did in his ‘days of yore’); but now he is fully armed with several different ukuleles!

Bhu works with many styles of music - collaborating with musicians, actors, dancers, poets, visual artists, performance artists, and generally anyone possessing a taste for creative adventure.

Khabu recently received a Sabbatical Program grant from the Armour Foundation, where he composed over 10 new pieces for solo ukulele. He is currently making plans to release a live solo concert DVD featuring this new body of work.

He is a founding partner of the Creative Music Workshop.
