July 25, 2021Amazing
The Chapman Brothers were amazing. They are very talented and offered a great variety of music. They had smiles on their faces the whole night and were extremely polite, nice and gracious. Communication was top notch. We had many friends ask for their contact info for future events. If you are looking for a steel drum band, don’t think twice — book these guys!

October 9, 2016amazingly talented & enjoyable duo!
These sweet young men were not only incredibly talented, but also very laid-back. Their go-with-the-flow attitudes made them very easy to work with. Their music was fun & enjoyable and they even learned some songs we had requested just days before the party! Highly recommend this duo for any cocktail / dinner hour.

About
Terrell Andre Chapman was born on October 3rd, 1993, in Brooklyn, New York. His father, Terrence Chapman, noticed that Terrell had a natural ear for music at a fairly young age. He then proceeded to enroll Terrell in piano lessons, and for Terrell, it was surely love at first sight. Terrell has a wide variety of musical influences; the main genres being Neo-Soul/R&B, Calypso, Reggae, Hip-Hop, and of course, Gospel. In regards to the Chapman Brothers, he is the musical genius behind the group, and also controls the involvement of social media.
Joseph Benjamin Chapman, who often goes by the nickname “JB”, was born on April 24, 1995. His father, Terrence Chapman, introduced him to the steel pan, an instrument that originated from the island of Trinidad and Tobago. He passed off his knowledge of the instrument to Joseph, and Joseph proved himself to be a natural by the age of six as well. In regards to the Chapman Brothers, he plays the roles of engineer, playing the steel pan, and is the primary contact for the group.
