Brahm grew up between two small towns, one nestled in the Berkshire foothills of western Massachusetts USA, and one harbored in between the Pacific Ocean and the Sierra Madres Mountains in Jalisco Mexico. Raised in a family of artists who always encouraged creativity, Brahm has been immersed in music all of their life. At around two or three years old, Brahm began tagging along to West African Drum and Dance classes with their father. After a year or two, one of the drummers in the troupe handed Brahm a pair of sticks and a bucket and . Brahm began taking drum lessons at the age of 6. Their mom would drive them every week, 2 hours roundtrip to study with who would become longtime teacher and mentor Ricky Marshall. To pursue their passion, Brahm attended PVPA, a performing arts charter public middle and high school in western Massachusetts. While in high school they continued to study percussion intensely with Ricky Marshall as well as long time teacher and mentor Bob Weiner. They were also fortunate to have many high school music mentors in addition to his private instruction.

Once at PVPA, Brahm quickly started creating his own projects while also honing his musicianship as a sideman. At age 16 Brahm began playing with Charles Neville (of the Neville brothers) and continued playing with him until his death in 2018. Brahm has played at numerous venues throughout the north east with the New England Nevilles including the Iron Horse Music Hall, The Green River Fest, and the Springfield Jazz Festival.

Brahm also co-founded and co-led his band MASLA, a hip hop, funk, jazz fusion group that toured from 2013-2016. The group billed with acts such as Talib Kweli and Blackalicious, and shared songs and stages with the Soul Rebels and the Alchemistics. The band headlined at venues across the western USA such as Ziontific Music Festival, Iron Horse Music Hall, and Oberlin College.

After being in Miami for almost 7 years Brahm has had the privilege of working with many amazing musicians, traveling throughout the US, Mexico and Canada.  Artists that Brahm has worked with include Charles Neville, latin greats Arturo Sandoval, Nestor Torres, and Tony Perez (irakere); vocalists Nicole Henry, Peter Eldridge, Jo Lawry, instrumentalists such as Curtis Lundy and Maria Schnieder; and funk/fusion artists Glen David Andrews, Ryan Montbleu and Charmaine Neville.  

Brahm has had the incredible fortune to be able to study with some wonderful teachers. Massachusetts based drummers Ricky Marshall and Bob Weiner, MacArthur Fellow Dafnis Prieto, and long time Bee Gees drummer Steve Rucker are some of Brahm’s biggest mentors. Brahm holds a bachelor in Jazz performance from Frost School of Music at the University of Miami
