My name is Erik Dunton, I am a therapeutic musician and motivational drummer. I have been a musician for most of my life. I believe that music should be, not only valued as a form of entertainment but also as a vehicle for positive change in the lives of individuals through the power of music, rhythm, song, sounds and frequencies to produce non-musical outcomes.

“I believe everyone is born musical, everyone has rhythm, everyone has a heartbeat.”

–Erik Dunton, Positive RePercussions - Remo® HealthRHYTHMS® Endorsed Facilitator & RBI Recreational Music-Making Facilitator

My career has spanned several decades in Nashville TN, where I have been in the studio and on the road, in many musical and creative capacities, for many acts and artists; Michael W. Smith, Amy Grant, Moody Blues, Charlie Daniels Band, Kim Carnes, Joe Jackson, Bebe and Cece Winans, Toby McKeehan (TobyMac), Whitney Houston, Merle Haggard, Anne Murray and many others. Currently, my career path has led me to use music as a tool for healing and other non-musical outcomes.

In 2007, I established my group drumming business, Positive RePercussions in Nashville, TN, later relocating to Austin, TX in 2015. I have had the opportunity to work with children, well elderly, individuals with special needs, elderly in memory care, at-risk youth, and many more populations. Through this work, at hospitals, nursing homes, rehabilitation facilities, addiction recovery centers, at-risk shelters, special needs camps, group homes, I have been able to see the positive change that rhythm and music bring to lives.

I invite you to join me on this journey. A journey of using rhythm, music, song, sound and frequency to “make whole”… to heal.

Music Heals!
