Great music & awesome guy.

We had an outdoor garden party reception for my son & his Bride. Stanley did an awesome job of providing background music that was uplifting and fun. Everyone enjoyed his talents and music.

Perfect!

Stanley did a great job. This was a birthday party for my six year old granddaughter, so he prepared several Disney songs just for her, which delighted her.
This was a garden party, however Mother Nature heated things up to 100 degrees, but Stanley was great. He took time to answer people’s questions about the steel drum and chat with us afterwards. His performance added just the right touch to a small garden party.

Perfect for our event

Stanley (Mpanist) came as a surprise to our family holiday party to play the steel drum for us. He was personable and interactive as he customized song selections for us. The sound of his steel drum mixed with background music was beautiful and enjoyed by all. He truly made our holiday party. Thank you Stanley!

Repeat Events

We have had reoccurring events at our home over the years. The deck is long but a little thin in a couple of places. The tone and level of music is perfect from yards away to right next to the player. Gladly takes requests and plays them all to perfection. Our guest were late but he stayed later to give us the full experience. Would recommend for any occasion.

Fantastic Steel Drum Performance!

We hold an annual multi-cultural fair that has an entertainment component to the event. Stanley was our final performer and it was such a wonderful way to wrap up our fair - he was amazing! Not only is he a stellar musician but he is a professional, he visited our school before the event to see where he would be performing and he arrived early so that he would be prepared. We were running late with our schedule and Stanley was incredibly understanding and gracious about the delay. He was awesome to work with and we will for sure have him come back to our school!

Great live music for small to medium sized event!

We hired Stanley for a corporate networking event, which was also a reunion held for past interns of our company and National Intern Day. We had around 30-40 people attend throughout the 2 hours, and the music Stanley played really gave our event a fun and energetic vibe. He tailored the playlist to be just the right volume to set a great background for conversation and connection! He arrived early, and he handled all of the set up and tear down seamlessly. Would recommend as a great way to add entertainment factor to an otherwise basic event. All around great experience and would hire again!

Excellent, Experienced, High Talent Entertainer

It is my privilege to recommend Stanley Alleyne, Steel Drum Soloist of Mpanist for favorites ranging from popular music like Jimmy Buffett to reggae and Calypso. I don’t offer many referrals, so those that I do, are for people that I believe to be of high character that you can engage with confidence. After enjoying Mpanist at a large public event; I booked him for an intimate Birthday party with 12 guests. He was perfect at both - professional, thoughtful, charming, and talented with a musical mix that is pleasing for all ages and occasions. An experienced and highly talented entertainer, the type of person you want in your circle of friends. Best, MJ Vigil

Awesome Rhythms! Perfect vibe for any party.

Great experience from start to finish. Stan was easy to work with and his steel drum beats were the perfect touch to our party. Fun, easy, breezy, everyone had a fantastic time jamming out to his tunes. We will definitely hire him again and highly recommend him for any of your event needs. A gem of a find.

Steel Drum Solo Gig from Mpanist

Excellent steel drum player for an indoors memorial service. He muted the steel drum. The volume was perfect. The playing excellent. He arrived and set up early. Performance was excellent. Very much appreciated. He also stayed longer to visit and chat with the other guests. We very much appreciated the song Jamaica Farewell. We had several visiting relatives from Jamaican and they all appreciated the steel drum music and complimented his performance. No complaints. Only compliments. THANK YOU!!! :-)
