March 28, 2026Fantastic entertainment!
Junior provided fantastic entertainment! We couldn't be more happier with our choice of entertainment. He is a wonderful steel drum player along with vocals. Our guests were very impressed and enjoyed his music. We would definitely book him again for our next party and he was referred to several of our guests. Thank you for adding that extra for our Tiki Party!

Additional booking notes
My stage set-up is very simple & basic, I have all my mics, stands & instruments, including speakers & amplifiers, so all I would require is electrical power. For a Beach setting where there’s no electrical power, please let me know, I have a portable battery powered speaker & amplification unit which can be used. Shade is required from the Sun for the Steel-Drum and most of my equipment, so please inform me if there'll be no shade so I can bring my own. However, for far travels via air, I would require an amplification unit with speakers.
