Oded Prior's rhythmical journey began at 13, when he started experimenting with objects around his home.

Through Junkyard Beats, Oded has become a global ambassador for creative recycling and rhythm. His high-energy performances and innovative school programs have toured extensively across Australia, Europe, South America, and beyond.
