Steel Pan | Musician | Performer
​​
My journey with the steel pan began during my school days in Barbados. What started as a hesitant exploration, spurred by the encouragement of friends, quickly became a passion that transformed my life.
​
I began with the basics, but my love for the instrument deepened as I discovered the rich, melodic tones of the double tenors, which soon became my signature sound. From these humble beginnings, I honed my craft, performing with bands across Barbados and beyond.
​
My musical journey has taken me to international stages, including cruise liners, where I not only showcased my steelpan talents but also developed my skills on keyboards. Performing in diverse settings and learning new instruments broadened my musical horizons and enriched my artistry. My travels further extended to venues in the USA and Canada, sharing the vibrant sounds of the Caribbean with global audiences.
​
While living in Kelowna, BC, I continued to expand my repertoire as a bass guitarist and co-founded the reggae band Storm, adding new dimensions to my artistic expression.
​
Today, I am a seasoned musician whose dynamic steelpan performances captivate audiences locally and globally. My soulful renditions and Caribbean-inspired melodies bring energy and artistry to every performance.
​
Whether you're hosting an intimate gathering or a grand celebration, I deliver an unforgettable musical experience that embodies the spirit of the Caribbean.
