Steelasophical Steel Drum Band



Solo & Duo options are our core live music business and is the modern evolution so far as Caribbean steeldrum musical entertainment is concerned
 
It utilises amazing steeldrum instruments and percussion's , fused with great quality studio produced backing music trax music, to give a full and professional band sound .. resonating from just  just one or two visible performers!



The concept is not unique, many top performers do this all the time and have done so for years and on the BIG stage! .. the likes of Madonna, Michael Jackson, Simply Red ..



Using back trax give you the best of all worlds. Great live vocals or live steeldrum and percussive sounds, but without the uncertainty and variation in a live backing band (for a fraction of the cost too) .. with us, the backing music is always as intended and perfect for the occasion, with the lead Pannist able to control the entire performance balance, sound, feel & volume, in one motion at any given time .. a must for background music where people want to be heard, but music is required to create that perfect tropical atmosphere

With Steelasophical, the basic music styles stretch over 14 genres and the song list itself has a base of well over 100 which grows periodically. This give the highest flexibility when it comes to the scope of occasions, size of venue and performance area, style and pace of music required

Due to the nature of the composition of the act, the music can be as soft and gentle as a string quartet, to as loud and pulsating as a 6-8pc Caribbean steelband, Soca band, Pop group, Reggae or Salsa band .. something to take into account when comparing quotations



We have the use of up to 4200 watts of PA system clarity and power. Your average steelband has less than 500watts if a combo setup .. and a typical small to medium mobile Dj would have a set up between 500 - 2000watts

We can even compliment this with vocals, saxophone, percussion, more steeldrums .. it truly is amazing value and far much more than your conventional steelband or DJ



Steelasophical was born out of over 15 years of performing alongside some of the very best in the Caribbean music scene .. including soca bands, reggae bands, steelbands traditional and combo ... and many  many session gigs


So not only do you get the best of steeldrums, you also have the options of a Pro DJ service, dmx lighting / scanner / Laser/ Smoke, themed banners, mood lighting and a host of multimedia options too
