"This was our first time hiring Allan for an event and he exceeded our expectations. Great set-up and professional to deal with throughout the process. Thanks for elevating our event this year, we will reach out again in the future. Great job!"
Dereck "Chinee" Ayum Steelpan artist
"Dereck was a joy to have at our event. He arrived early and suffered through the heat for his waiting time and 1 hour performance. His music was fun and upbeat and thoroughly enjoyed by all."
Jessica La Music
"Jessica played my wedding ceremony and cocktail hour - I have to say, if Jessica wasn’t there to play her beautiful music, our day definitely wouldn’t have been as magical! She truly is a passionate musician with amazing artistry. At one point, she had our guests singing along at the cocktail hour - enough to hear all around the venue! I would 100% recommend Jessica over and over again for any special event as she adds something intangibly special to the atmosphere."
Dex Marchan
"I’ve had the pleasure of getting to know dex and he’s genuinely one of the kindest, warmest people you could meet. He has such a lovely energy about him, and his passion and enthusiasm really shine through. I’d recommend him to anyone looking for someone who brings not only talent and dedication to what he does, but also a genuinely lovely personality. ❤️"

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
