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

Dex Marchan
"I invited Dex to present a brief history of the steel pan and perform for a school assembly in recognition of Black History Month. To say Dex was outstanding is an understatement! From his easy and calm demeanor, his ability to comfortably communicate the history of the steel pan to a young audience and then completely captivate them through his playing. It was a moment they will NEVER forget. Dexter is truly an ambassador for our culture in London and his talent is immense!"
