I’m Alan — drummer, creator, and kidney warrior. My journey with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD), End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD), and the realities of dialysis have shaped every beat I play and every design I share. What started as a personal struggle became a calling—to raise awareness, offer support, and connect with others through the universal language of rhythm.

Throughout this journey, my family has been my anchor. Their love, sacrifices, and unwavering belief in me gave me the strength to keep going, even on the hardest days. They stood by me through long treatments, quiet prayers, and countless moments of uncertainty. This brand is a tribute not just to my battle—but to theirs too.

Faith also plays a huge role in everything I do. I believe healing doesn’t only happen in hospitals or clinics—it happens in the heart, in the soul, and in the spirit. There’s something divine in the way music can lift pain, restore joy, and remind us we’re not alone. I believe each beat, each groove, is guided by something greater than us—a purpose that moves through us and connects us.

This isn’t just a store—it’s a movement. A rhythm of hope, healing, and unity for everyone touched by CKD. It’s a space where drummers, fighters, families, and supporters come together to share strength, celebrate life, and inspire change.

Through your support, our CKD Collection continues to grow with apparel, blankets, and more meaningful products on the way. Pocket Groove donates $1 for every item sold in this collection to the American Kidney Fund each year. Our mission is to raise awareness about Chronic Kidney Disease and shine a light on the countless people—across the world and especially here in the USA—who are waiting every day for a life‑saving kidney transplant.

We are more than a brand. We are a rhythm-driven community rooted in purpose, family, and faith.
Together, we keep the pulse going.
