Sounds of the Summer
Overview
I am a steel drummer with over 10 years of experience. I have been featured on WMBF News and won 3rd place in the Brooklyn Panorama Competition, playing for the Philly Pan Stars in 2024. I have performed at hotels, festivals, and restaurants, entertaining guests with not only tropical music but also reggae, classic rock, and a variety of pop tunes. I try to keep a mix of old hits and modern tunes. I currently study music at Coastal Carolina University.

What to expect
I love keeping the audience on their toes! my set list ranges from Sabrina Carpenter to Bob Marley to Steely Dan. I play songs that people would've never thought they would hear a steel drum play. It surprises audiences in a good way. I also interact with audiences by allowing people to play the drum (if they want to). I generally play calypso, soca, reggae, pop, and classic rock genres. If a song is requested in advance, I can learn it for ya!
About
I have been playing steel pan for 10+ years, and I am currently in college studying music. I have performed with a variety of Coastal Carolina University's ensembles such as their big band (jazz), world music ensemble, etc. I also perform regularly around South Carolina outside of school. I have performed for Dirty Don's Oyster Bar and Grill, Landshark in Barefoot Landings, Ocean Reef Resort (Myrtle Beach), Buoys on the Boulevard, and even some festivals such as the Myrtle Beach Winter Wonderland Festival. I also perform for private events and weddings.
Additional booking notes
I typically have a small setup, but if it's a larger venue/audience, I use a mixer/mics. I only need a power outlet for my speaker.
