About Vendor 

Learn more about this vendor for your event.

I am a native Trinidadian who has been playing authentic Caribbean music on the steel pan all over the island since I was 15 years old. I performed in concert on the same program with calypsonians Mighty Sparrow and Lord Kitchener and currently play some of their favorites, as well as those sung by Harry Belafonte. Also performed for Senior White House personnel, Presidential Inaugural parade, and US Attorney General. I am available for lectures to schools, history clubs, music societies, and other similar organizations on the history and development of steel pan music from its origins in the 1930s to the 21st century. Genres of live music played include calypso, soca, reggae, R&B, smooth jazz, oldies, and pop.

Review by Nisha G.

Birthday Party (Adult)Reviewed on March 22, 2026From Manassas, VA

He was ON TIME, very friendly and extremely accommodating. He was apparently well known because he actually played at one of my guest's wedding! He was patient because WE were NOT on time (TRINIDADIANS AGAIN!) but when he did begin, he played beautifully. We did have to ask him to turn down the background music only because we all wanted to hear HIM play the pan because it was really beautiful. I loved him and will definitely use him again for my next event.

Wedding ReceptionReviewed on October 27, 2025From Crownsville, MD

Ron from Steel Pan Jam was absolutely amazing! He played the steel drums at our wedding celebration on the beach and created the perfect vibe. He even played some of our favorites, including Bob Marley's One Love. Ron was so kind, professional, and our guests absolutely loved the music—it made the day unforgettable!

Steel Pan Jam:

Thanks! I still get my hair cut in your neighborhood.
