Song List

Music Chosen with All Generations in Mind
This repertoire has been carefully built over many years of performing in New York, Boston, and beyond — always with mixed audiences in mind. From grandparents to younger guests, there is usually something familiar that brings a smile.

I approach the steel pan as a lyrical instrument, focusing on melody, feeling, and groove rather than flash. Each song is played in a way that supports the room, allowing conversation to flow while gently shaping an atmosphere that feels warm, tasteful, and memorable.

If this sounds like the kind of atmosphere you’d like for your gathering, I would be honored to be part of it.
