Funeral•Reviewed on July 19, 2026•From Willingboro, NJ

Mr.Sample was such a blessing to me. I was searching for the perfect entertainment to host my father’s repast . Mr.Sample came and he played beautifully. He helped make a sad occasion a little less painful with his wonderful steel pan playing.

Thank you Ms Sharyn' I was glad to bring some joy to the family!

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on January 14, 2026•From Middletown, NJ

Mr. Sterling C Sample's Island Music Steel Drums is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! He performed for my mother's 80th birthday celebration and he brought the VIBES! From the cocktail hour to his PHENOMENAL rendition of "Royal" for my mom's grand entrance, Mr. Sterling kept the audience entertained from beginning to end. He performed a variety of music, including gospel and reggae, effortlessly! Mr. Sterling was professional and worked well with the DJ, MC, and the various elements in our program. Our guests are still RAVING about the performance. I HIGHLY recommend Mr. Sterling for your entertainment needs! You will not regret it! We will definitely use him again!!!

We hired Sterling C. Sample to play the steel drum at a Surprise birthday party in Long Beach Island, NJ. Sterling was on time, played a great mix of music, had everyone dancing and singing along. He was also super kind, professional and courteous. We can’t wait to hire him again for a future event!

Having Sterling at your event will guarantee fun! I had him attend for the final 1.5 hours of my high school reunion. We had a DJ for the first part, then Sterling came in as a surprise and blew everyone away. People loved the steel drums and he got everyone dancing - so much fun!

Family Reunion•Reviewed on July 3, 2017•From Franklin Lakes, NJ

My family and I were delighted to be entertained by Sterling C. Sample at our recent pool party/BBQ! Sterling communicated with me prior to the date of our event; he arrived early to set up and then he greeted guests with his steel drum island music. Sterling is an amazing talent and he possesses a wonderful friendly disposition. I highly recommend Sterling - we will surely invite him to come back to play for us again at a future party!!!
