Steel Drum Player
"When planning my daughter's wedding, which was always destined to be a multicultural blend of music genres, styles, and rhythmic offerings, I was set on finding that flair to entertain our guests with a little taste of their own familiar music and I happened upon the One Man Steel Drum Band on a popular gig website. With the union of the kids spanning the globe and including West Indian, Latin, and Russian culture, this was a perfect choice!
Upon establishing contact with John Skoczen, I realized very quickly that he would be an effective and professional communicator who cared not only about his role in our event but also the appeal of such things as attire, the set list, any particular requests related to the guests, and the full gamut of helping us to make our event delightful. John consistently maintained contact with me regarding updates, directions, and special elements. No portions of our interactions were confusing for me. He was so patient and understanding upon arriving at the venue whereas I was as a scattered and frazzled mother of the bride and coordinator. He quickly became like family, AND his talent is out of this world! I will definitely be booking John again for a future occasion.

Chris Arpad Solo Steel Drum Entertainment
"Terrific and magical
Having Chris come to my cousin's birthday was one of the best decisions I have made. My family thought he was absolutely perfect and loved his music. My cousin was happily surprised and was thankful for his attentiveness. He arrived promptly, set up, and played for the agreed amount of time. What I found so endearing is that he spoke to my cousin to get an idea of what songs she would like to hear. My cousin has a difficult time speaking due to her brain cancer, but Chris was very kind and took the time to understand her.
I would definitely keep him in mind for future events."

Oh What a Band!!
We hired Dylan’s Steel Band for a Jamaican themed anniversary party. Not only did they arrive early to set up, they were very professional, friendly and accommodating. Not to mention SUPER talented! We totally look forward to hiring them again in the future and recommend to all of our family and friends. Working with them was such a nice experience. Highly recommend

"Dexter recently played at our wedding in Addington Palace during the drinks reception. As we are from Trinidad we wanted something for our guests to enjoy as they mingled and chatted and the sound of the Steelpan was really lovely. Many guests commented on how great Dexter was and it was nice to see him smiling and enjoying himself too! The set was mixed music and sounded great."
