Overview

I am a Steel Pan player with over 30+ years experience, playing a wide variety of music ranging from top 40’s to soca to jazz to elevator music all through many eras of music. I am willing and able to play at any type of function be it big or small, I have a repertoire of 10hrs + of music, so I can play any duration of length be it short or long sets. I have my own vehicle for which I can travel anywhere in or out of the GTA, also willing to cross the border if need be.

I accept up to 3 requests and can play any genre of music you can think of.

Wedding cocktail hour

Amazing! We got rave reviews from our guests and LoveSounD really helped set the tone for a fun wedding. Great communication, on time, and he played a variety of songs.
We would definitely recommend him and would hire him again!

Quality

I don’t even know where to start this was an amazing idea and the execution was nothing short of brilliant. I am very happy with his performance.

I can’t wait to have another event just to hire Mr. Aaron again, highly recommend.

Amazing!!

Aaron was the perfect addition to our wedding on October 19, 2024. He played during our cocktail hour and it was exactly what we wanted.

Aaron was great to communicate with and he sounded great!!!

If you are looking for a steel drum player, definitely hire Aaron. You won’t be disappointed!

Beautiful steelpan renditions at our T&T/Portuguese wedding

Aaron was the perfect piece to our cocktail hour for our wedding in June 2024. I was in the search of a taste of home (T&T) to add to the cocktail hour and came across LoveSounD's profile. Smooth and easy to communicate with and his music filled the lobby of the hall where the cocktail hour took place. Everyone enjoyed it thoroughly. Would recommend and hire him for future services in a heartbeat. Thank you so much again!
