The rhythms of the Caribbean and Latin America were the sound of his childhood home\; the indie and folk scenes o f the Canadian prairies were the sound of the city that claimed him. He di dn't choose between them\, and he still hasn't.\nThat refusal sent him to Brandon University\, where he studied jazz performance under Eric Platz\, Marika Galea\, and Greg Gatien — and where he discovered the music that would reshape everything: the fearlessness of 1960s post-bop\, the raw pro pulsion of 1970s jazz fusion\, the hard-hitting groove and lyricism of 199 0s hip hop. Through all of it\, a conviction crystallized: that groove and intention are the twin centres of music worth making.\nHis drumming carri es this history without being burdened by it. Simultaneously rooted and re stless — hitting hard while moving fluidly — he draws on jazz\, rock\, folk\, hip hop\, electronic\, Latin\, and Afro-Cuban music in his playing \, and pulls bands toward moments nobody planned for. He describes his pur suit as finding "where structure meets total freedom." Every performance i s a negotiation of exactly that. Among his touchstones: Mark Guiliana\, wh ose playing lives with equal fluency in acoustic jazz and electronic music \; and Tommy Crane\, whose groove-centred\, pop-and-rock-informed jazz mov es between worlds without losing its footing in any of them.\nHis composit ions occupy similar territory — cinematic and atmospheric\, jazz improvi sation moving through pop and rock structures\, the wide-sky indie-folk wa rmth of Winnipeg as present as any conservatory influence. Think Jeff Park er: that particular\, unhurried way of holding jazz\, post-rock\, and elec tronic music in the same hand. The music rewards deep listening without re quiring it. Over the years\, Seunarine has brought that approach to stages alongside Grammy-winning and Juno-winning artists — Sara Gazarek\, Jaso n Palmer\, Luis Deniz — and influential voices across Canada and interna tionally. Those experiences live in his playing\, in the way he listens\, responds\, and leaves space for the unexpected.\nThe recipient of the 2026 SABIAN–Dom Famularo–SEN Mentorship Award\, Seunarine is releasing The Expanding Whatever in fall 2026 — his third album\, and his most person al. Where earlier records negotiated between his influences\, this one sim ply lets them coexist. Jazz fusion and prairie folk\, the grand and the mu ndane\, the ambitious and the unhurried. It is music that pays attention t o small things — the moments most people don't think to write songs abou t — and finds in them something worth sitting with.\n-\nPlease note: Fo od and table service will not be available during Jazz at the Fort Garry H otel performances.
