Beginning his tuition at the age of 4, Tsoof Baras is a versatile percussionist trained in classical orchestral percussion as well as Cuban, African and Middle-Eastern hand drumming styles. As a child, he was exposed to Taiko drumming in the extra curricular programs of his school and continued to study in the instrumental music program until the end of his primary education.

He participated in QYO, was a part of MOST in 2009 and 2011, and was a part of ‘Creative Generation: State Schools Onstage’ from 2008-2011. Most notably, Tsoof was a part of Mac-Cussion, who performed on Australia’s Got Talent in 2011 and reached the semi-finals.
