Abdul was brilliant. He hit the spot with his music and was just what we wanted for our summer party. Punctual, very responsive and flexible to our needs, I would highly recommend him to anyone and we will certainly use him again for future events.

Abdul was absolutely amazing at our office summer party! Abdul was so engaging and enthusiastic, it was a delight from the beginning till the very end. Everyone loved the range of songs he played and we could all tell how passionate he was playing the steel pan. He is very professional, friendly and passionate. He added so much energy to the party. I would highly recommend Abdul, do not hesitate! He will make your event unforgettable and a real talking point, as he did with ours. Thank you!!

Thank you SO MUCH Abdul for playing your steel drum at my client's party. I loved your music and so did all the guests at the party. It was the perfect way to get us in the Carnival mood. You were amazing! Very professional service right from the start and you were even took requests and played those. You were a big highlight for the party. I'll be recommending your service to all my friends! Pleasure to meet you and hear your great music.
