The Culture Efx

When I perform my solo gigs I usually bring one speaker, a small side table, laptop, and my instrument. Its a very small setup that fit easily in a corner. I use backing tracks for most of my renditions, as well as I have the ability to accompany myself. Im not a vocalist but if required I do have a vocalist on demand that I can bring with me as well as my own trio.

Andre White’s name is synonymous with excellence in Steelpan. Whether arranging popular music for a 100-person orchestra, Composing the abundance of life-force in a jazz trio or left with the instrument alone on stage, White’s music is unmistakable in impact. It’s simple to call someone “prodigy” when they begin to teach themselves music at the age of 6; when he began playing with Long-Island based ADLIB Steel Orchestra. From those humble beginnings, he has become a 3-time Champion in the Annual WIADCA Steelband Panorama, a 4-time UK Panorama, a 2-time Guyana Panorama champion and a 2-time single pan category panorama champion in Trinidad and Tobago. Recording with artists like Etienne Charles and even releasing his own album (Liberation), White adds clout to his credential as a Berklee Alumnus. In recent months, Andre won the International Pan Ramajay Soloist category hosted by Republic Bank Exodus. It the midst of a long stint of touring, he also was given the honor of arranging and performing for the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee with the United Kingdom’s All Steel Percussion Orchestra, opening for mega superstar Ed Sheeran. His talent is such that hearing him perform, even once, will change the way you perceive clarity and fluidity on the instrument- his victories are a whisper of the larger story.

Shade if it's too hot outisde or raining.
A level grounding for my instrument to stand properly on.
