Steel Pannist for Hire

Ready to add some island vibes to:

Private parties

Corporate Events

Restaurants

Weddings

Festivals

...and more!

Hiring a steel pan player for your next event will provide a unique and memorable entertainment experience for your guests!

While you may be hiring a soloist, I am still able to provide a big band sound! I play with backing tracks that I arranged and recorded myself, making it feel like I brought my own five-piece band along.

I'm happy to provide background music and blend in with your small or large event, or make it educational by sharing steel pan history and facts with the audience in between songs.

Book now!

Booking

Rates

I purposefully don't list my rates because I want to work with you and your budget! Live entertainment for your event is a worth-while investment, but I would love to work with you to create a package that fits your needs and budget.

My rates can vary by season, day of the week, venue size, and duration.

Please reach out to me with the specifics of your event to receive a quote!

I'm able to accept payment via cash, check, Venmo, or PayPal.

Requirements

I can play indoors or outdoors! I would just need about 6'x6' of space to set up.

I do require one power outlet, but am able to play for up to two hours in a remote location (ex: a beach) on battery if needed.

For outdoor events, I do need my space covered (both my pan and I roast easily!) and dry.

It's just me, my pan, a small table for electronics, and my PA system.
