FAQs

What is your most memorable wedding?
"The most memorable wedding was the one where I was embraced as the member of the family"
2 years earlier I was booked to perform music at a wake for a gentleman who had passed away. It was one of his wishes to have steelpan music on his day. I was selected over many other choices, mainly because Weddings and Funeral days are both ends of the life cycle I love to be a part of. the first ever funeral was my mother, the 2nd my aunty. It was a wonderful afternoon, the music was well received and I had many a conversation with many of the family and friends in attendance.
2 years later I was invited to perform at the wedding of his daughter. Not only did I get to converse with many of the guests who attended the funeral .. but in the speeches there was a special message for me, thanking me for not only producing the music for the driks reception, but because it them feel like there father was there with them!!

What makes a romantic first dance?
Connection - a song that actually means something deeply to both - its amazing how quickly they will block out the rest of the world, and be lost in the moment.
We have had couples that did not want to be the centre of attention, and in some cases, not wanting a first dancedue to suffering with some level of social anxiety .. and we found creative ways to still have that first dance, and calm their worries and fears.
What is your number one floor-filler?
Hot hot hot (Arrow) an iconic Caribbean floor filler - when we perform it, it becomes interactive with dance moves and even a limbo pole .. plus you can get the entire room singing along!

What is the soundtrack to your life?
