Egha Kusuma-Steel Drum Island Music

Egha holds Bachelor (Brigham Young University–Hawaii), Master (Brigham Young University), and Doctorate (Arizona State University) degrees in Music Performance: Percussion. He started playing steel drum in Hawaii, and had chances to go on a steel drum tour to different Hawaiian islands: Oahu, Maui, Big Island, and Kauai. He lived in Utah for several years, performing steel drum at various events such as corporate parties, weddings, and public concerts. He was also regularly invited to perform with well-known steel drum artists at the annual Utah Steel Band Festival. In addition, Egha served as the director of the Arizona State University Pan Devil Steel Band for a few years. He now resides in the Greater Phoenix Area, Arizona, where he continues to share his music and bring the sounds of the steel drum to new audiences.

For outdoor event, I need to set up under a covered or shaded area (under a tent, large umbrella, overhang or a big tree) . The reason for this is to protect the steel drum. When it is exposed to direct sunlight or rain, it will go out of tune.
