Daveed has been on the musical path for all of this lifetime. He was brought onto the Sufi path in 2009
when he and his beloved, Shunya Caban, were invited to be musicians in the zikr circle on Kauai. Soon
after, he and Shunya met Leilah and Bodhi Be and began joining them as musicians. Daveed took
initiation with Bodhi Be and became a member of the Sufi Ruhaniat International in 2013.
He and Shunya have a strong connection with the SSC and lived there for nine months in 2023-24, and
still consider it their spirit home. Now residing in nearby Silver City, they remain actively involved in the
SSC community, as well as the Silver Sufi community.
