Kristian played for our school's international day and was kind enough to let the kids try out his steel drum. It was a great experience for them!

Kristian did a wonderful job at our "Cruise to Paradise" Auction Fundraiser. His music brought a tropical, fun vibe to the event and we received many compliments on his skills. We highly recommend him.

He is very easy to work with; very professional and very competent. There were some musicians at the event who were also impressed with his work. Definitely added to the ambiance of the party. I highly recommend him.

A+++ Contracted Kristian to play an outdoor "Luau" type event with mocktails and a water slide here at Kutztown U for our week of welcome carnival. Would definately hire Kristian again in the future and highly recommend to anyone interested in a very professional excellent sounding steel drum performance.

Anniversary Party•Reviewed on July 26, 2007•From Philadelphia, PA

Kristin was very pleasant to watch and listen to during our event. The crowd loved his music and it restored thier Faith and inspired hope to live another day. Many of the audience were cancer patients facing a major crisis. It was a pleasure to watch their worries travel into the breeze to the wonderful sounds of the steel drums in Christian Paridise.

Private Party•Reviewed on July 21, 2007•From Allentown, PA

We were having a carribean themed party and the stell drums were over the top good! It is an amazing sound to listen to or to just play horseshoes and have back ground music. Kristian is very very talented and enjoys playing the steel pan and doesn't expect a clap after every song! He does it because he enjoys it. I highly recommend him for any event you have that fits this music style!!!!

He was awesome. The background music really enhanced the steel drum playing. Everyone felt as if they were on vacation in the tropics. I highly recommend for a great party!

Wedding•Reviewed on October 13, 2007•From Tuckerton, NJ

Kristian decided not to show up to my wedding so he could stay at another engagement longer. Instead he sent someone in his place (and never called to tell us). The duo (we hired a duo) who showed up called during the ketubah ceremony to find out what to play. The wedding coordinator said that performers were aloof and not the quality she had expected. Their breaks between every song were so long that everyone felt that the processional was starting and everyone turned to look. We had two other professional musicians perform at the wedding who felt embarrassed for the lack of professionalism shown by this musician.

:

The duo that performed at the event are the duo that was hired. They are members of my band and are among the finest steel drummers in the region. They knew very well what to play, and had learned a new piece of music requested by the bride especially for the event. They arrived an hour early but were given conflicting instructions by the wedding coordinator and members of the event staff. The performance area did not meet the terms of the contract, and the instruments were dangerously exposed to sunlight, despite being told that large umbrellas would be set up as a shield. My musicians had to take frequent breaks to protect their instruments from damage.

Private Party•Reviewed on May 25, 2007•From Long Branch, NJ

Kristian was just fantastic, for a one man band, he can do it all. People thought he was amazing, best steel drums they have ever heard. He is also very professional and a pleasure to deal with. We highly recomend him and will use him again in the future!

Kristian was great for our party. His rates were very reasonable for a private party function. Three of my guests have already asked for his contact information, which I happily passed along.
