Meet the group

Kiri

Kiri Roberts envisioned a Confluence as a way to incorporate and infuse different sounds from across the musical spectrum. He brings the influences of his native Zimbabwe’s Shona tribe music and other inspirational sounds from across the globe. The bass guitar in his hand and his voice become a tool he uses to tell his story and express his emotions to his Maker. His life journey has taken him from his village in Zimbabwe to England, where he advanced his interest in music and technology, and eventually New York where he continues expressing his art through collaborative work across the USA and the world including working with artists like Alicia Keys, Selloane (from Lion King) and more.

 

 

 

John

John Avallon-Serra grew up in  musical family jamming with his two brothers in high school.  He had the privilege of studying with renowned studio guru, Gary Chester to further his learning in music.  After coming back to faith in Christ in his early thirties John discovered he was most musically and spiritually fed when playing and singing worship tunes.  This led him to leave a twelve year tenure with a working wedding band not knowing what God would do in it's stead.

 

While playing drums at his local fellowship for several years he approached the drums to find a bass player named Kiri Roberts laying down tasty grooves that would take worship to a new level.  There seemed to be an immediate musical, spiritual and culinary connection!  From this point forward musical ideas were exchanged and many happy jams were had which eventually led to writing and playing music and from this A Confluence was created.

 

Lalania

Lalania Clayton-No’tice was Born to parents of Italian, Trinidadian, African and Cherokee Indian decent, is the middle child of 14 brothers & sisters. Growing up was easy being surrounded by amasala of personalities who were musicians, band members, singers and artist. I traveled to many homeland origins as a child until resting a short while in the southern states. My parents again relocated in the Albany area amongst many family members at age 8 in which by this time I discovered my love for music. As an outgoing young girl most of the day, I often enjoyed time alone and found solace in singing and dressing up. I would bring friends home from school and perform dances in front of my family often as they watched in support. It is later as a young adult that I discovered the irony of all these events and where God would take me in life and now as a woman, I live and sing for Him.
