April 6, 2026John played music that everyone thoroughly enjoyed and danced to continuously. He has become the talk of the town, with many mentioning that his performance at my brother's birthday party was unmatched. He is also very accommodating and paid close attention to the specific details I wanted for the occasion. I would highly recommend him!

You can expect a quality performance of solo steel drum played to accompaniment music
using a wide variety of styles. I will be on time, dress well, and interact well with your crowd.
I am a professional musician who has worked on several major
Cruise Lines.I hold a music degree in performance and I have played all
styles of music on many types of percussion instruments.
I specialize in playing solo steel drum along with accompaniment
background music.I am best suited for any event in which the sound of the
caribbean is needed, but the volume needs to stay moderate, or budget does
not allow a full steel (link hidden) addition to Cruise Lines, I have worked private
functions, lounges, and any gathering in which the sound of the Caribbean is
desired.
