WRITING

Clementine by Max Crace

From an early age, Clementine was passionate about writing. She graduated from the University of California with a double major in Creative Writing and Literature, moved to New York City because her favorite writers had passed through there, and then was waylaid by drums through a series of coincidences and strange turns.

For several years, Clem has been publishing on her blog, Bliss and Drumming, in which she writes of the intersection between spiritual practice and a music career. On the iTunes podcast of the same name, Clem narrates each post.

These pieces inspired her new book, FROM BONHAM TO BUDDHA AND BACK: The Slow Enlightenment of the Hard Rock Drummer, out February 22, 2023. Read more HERE.
