Writing for AllAboutJazz.com, Robert J. Lewis describes his playing:
鈥淭hrough the power of his startling invention, he makes the case that percussion can be every bit as performative as a lyrical instrument. What distinguishes Doxas鈥� approach to improvisation is that he refuses to play it safe, allowing the moment鈥攁nd not received wisdom鈥攖o dictate the kind of framework that will contain, shape and guide the piece under consideration. He is astutely committed to the belief that significant music is always distinguished by what is left unsaid, the gaps of which inspire him to produce a highly original vocabulary.鈥�

During the last several years, his playing with Oliver Jones has been recognized with Felix and Juno Awards in Canada, and his participation in the song 鈥淏elleville Rendez-Vous鈥� from the film The Triplets de Belleville received nominations for Grammy and Academy Awards.
