Cyrus Sink

The son of musician Steve Sink and artist Susan Huggins, Cyrus was raised in New York City studying piano, guitar and bass, and playing with the popular rock group The Mommyheads. He went on to study with Yusef Lateef, Andrew Jaffe, Ewe master drummer Godwin Agbeli, and bassists Darryl Jones, Jerry Jemott and Bruce Gertz, among others. He earned his Bachelor of Music cum laude in 1994 from the Berklee College of Music in Boston with a major in Bass Performance. As an experienced professional multi-instrumentalist, composer, educator, and recording artist, he worked as a music instructor at Amherst College and Suffield Academy, and recording engineer at Newbury Sound in Boston. In 1998, Cyrus put together a Boston-area collective under the name of Conundrum to record and perform his eclectic global groove music. To date, Conundrum has released four full-length recordings including Tea (1999), Spitting Mandarin (2000), Lucky (2001), and self-titled Conundrum (2002).
