About / Biography

I am a versatile steel drum player utilizing auxiliary percussion for a wide variety of songs including Trinidad standard tunes like Yellow Bird and reggae styles like One Love or Jimmy Buffett songs like Margaritaville and Son Of A Sailor. I also play a number of Latin tunes from artists like Santana and Sade. I have years of experience playing a wide array of events from private parties to corporate events. I can accommodate a large group that requires high energy, or a small intimate gathering as background music. I have played in many settings and many contracts for Royal Caribbean and Princess Cruise Lines. If you hire me I will bring the sound of the Caribbean to your next event!
