About / Biography

I am a solo steel pan performer with over 40 years of professional experience. I perform with my own original backing tracks recorded in my own professional recording studio. My backing tracks are second to none as I have a parallel career as a writer of TV & film music, with 30 years experience in that field too (Buffy, Friends, ER & many others). This year I am also adding my services as a DJ too, perfect for tropical themed events. I am also able to add a singer too, so my events can include vocals with my steel pan playing.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best gig you've ever done and the best venue you've ever played at?

Appearing as a guest on BBC TV's The Repair Shop, Christmas special 2023


Which artists have you been most influenced by, who is your favourite artist and what is the greatest song of all time?

Bob Marley. He is by far the most famous Caribbean musician and his music is always extremely popular in my sets. "One Love" & "Three Little Birds" are always crowd favorites


What's your previous experience and how did you start gigging?

I have been gigging professionally as a steel pan player for over 40 years now. I originally started playing in my dad's band and now have performed with many bands but now prefer to concentrate on performing as a solo artist. I also work as a session musician and recorded on the soundtrack to Disney's "The Little Mermaid".


What's your favourite type of event to play at?

I love playing at all events and in particular, I enjoy private events, especially weddings.


What Sort Of Music Do You Play?

Apart from most forms of Caribbean music, I have also performed Bollywood theme music for Bollywood themed events. I have performed some classical music with the Hertford Choral Society too. My repertoire also includes Latin music and some pop hits.

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

I perform my solo steel pan act with my pan & my Bose PA system. Typically I perform two sets of 45 mins each. If I am required to DJ too, I can perform up to three additional hours.


Are you happy to perform outside?

Yes


Do the clients have a say in what you play or is it a set repertoire list only?

I am happy to accommodate specific selections from my set, although I am very experienced at picking songs suitable for whatever event I am performing at . If I am asked to perform songs that are suitable and not in my set, I make a small additional charge to create backing tracks for these in my studio
