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!"
