Alvie Ramah
Alvie is a Melbourne-based drummer and content creator, whose musical journey began at a young age in a family deeply rooted in music. Growing up in Mauritius, Alvie’s first "drum kit" was the family couch and kitchen pots, using chopsticks as makeshift drumsticks. Despite formal piano lessons starting at age six, his passion for percussion quickly took over. By the age of eight, Alvie was playing in his local church’s band.
In 2009, Alvie and his family migrated to Melbourne, Australia, where he had limited access to a drum kit for a few years. Nonetheless, he continued to practice on pillows and whatever makeshift surface he could find. In 2011, his parents gifted him his first real drum kit—a moment he fondly remembers. After playing drums in various churches throughout his teenage years, Alvie took a five-year break to focus on his studies, later reflecting on the break as a missed opportunity, wishing he’d stayed true to his passion for drumming throughout high school.
Alvie returned to drumming in late 2018, and began posting drum covers on Instagram. Aiming to gain a following and exposure, his online presence led to his endorsement with Soultone Cymbals, marking a significant milestone in his career. Today, Alvie is an active drummer at Planetshakers Church, where he continues to grow as a musician in the worship scene. Alongside his church ministry, he is focused on expanding his presence online and sharing more of his drumming content with a wider audience. Alvie is also eager to perform in more live shows, bringing his energy and passion to stages beyond the church. With an exciting future ahead, he remains passionate about sharing his love for music and drumming with the world.
