History

Dash has been playing drums since he was a toddler, inspired by his grandfather, longtime Lansing musician, saxophonist, singer & DJ, Rick Hughes.

When Dash was 9, Rick passed away, and Dash was determined to be the next to continue the Hughes music legacy. Dash was the first person to sign up for lessons at School of Rock East Lansing, and he’s been performing with the School of Rock House Band ever since.

At age 11, Dash started playing full gigs with Blake James and has since filled in as drummer with various bands, including Full House, Cooper Johnson, and Kanin Wren.

Today

Currently, Dash continues to take lessons and perform with School of Rock as well as lessons with his drum mentor, Caleb Robinson. Dash is the backup drummer for Kanin Wren and her amazing band. He’s joining Rory Nevins in his new country band and regularly sits in with other bands around town.

Dash is also forming a new rock band! Almost Stellar - coming soon! With Claire Bowen on vocals and fellow School of Rock musicians - Aryan & Carter on guitar and Lily on bass. You can keep up with them on their website at AlmostStellar.com.
