Rhythma, the musical alias of Sean Michael Imler, seamlessly blends rock, folk, pop, jazz, and Americana, crafting songs that resonate with themes of social change and alternative media. His journey began with a six-month European tour at 21, where he composed, performed, and recorded, laying the foundation for his distinctive sound. While studying art at UCSC in Santa Cruz, California, he immersed himself in African hand drumming under Arthur Hull and delved into the mbira, learning from Zimbabwean masters. This rich tapestry of experiences informs Rhythma's dynamic storytelling and rhythmic innovation. ([rhythma.com](https://www.rhythma.com/bio.php?utm_source=openai))
