S. K. Thoth

His father, Dr. George Kaufman, was a Russian Jew and chairman of the Queens branch of the Congress of Racial Equality,[1] and his mother, the pioneering percussionist Elayne Jones, was born in Harlem.

[2] Stephen Kaufman attended LaGuardia High School of the Arts in Manhattan and holds a degree in comparative literature from San Francisco State University.

[3] His mother was the first African-American timpani player for the New York Philharmonic, and Thoth was exposed to classical music at a young age.

[citation needed] In the early 1990s Thoth worked occasionally as a model in life drawing classes at the Sharon Art Studio in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park.

[6] With various musicians including Scott Kungha Drengsen, Boris Goldman, and Rhan Wilson, Thoth recorded three CDs.

[13] Another short documentary by multimedia artist Mithaq Kazimi, captures Thoth & Lila' Angelique in San Diego as they perform the last song of their day and discuss life afterwards.
