Emanuel was able to accommodate us for a last minute private event. He came on time and played for the allotted time. He was great and it felt like we were in the Caribbean. It was a great event.

He set the mood! Our guests loved him and raved throughout the night! He was the perfect person to have at our rehearsal welcome celebration to kick things off before our big day! The guests were so happy with his selections from new to classic!

Ector was prompt, pleasant and a talent! Now I have to come up with another event concept just so I can bring him out to perform again!!! Highly recommend— he will not disappoint!

Emanuel played for our annual neighborhood Labor Day party. He arrived to set up early and was ready to play right at the start time. He did a great variety of songs. Everyone enjoyed the music, and it set the perfect tone for the party.

Emanuel Ector played his steel drum and sang at my 2023 Labor Day Weekend Cookout that I hosted in Linthicum Heights Maryland for family members and friends and he did an excellent job. My guests loved his performance! Emanuel was very professional! He came to the venue early to set up and he played for a full two hours. I look forward to using his services again in the future.

My husband and I booked Emanuel for our 11th anniversary party. The traditional anniversary gift is steel so we thought having a steel drum play for our crowd of 70+ would be great and Emanuel delivered an amazing experience!! Our location was out in the woods in West Virginia. Emanuel arrived early to set up and started right on time. The sound was amazing! I had so many people comment on how great he was. Our friends and family sang along and danced for the whole 2 hours. I definitely recommend Emanuel!! Thank you for the great time!!!

Wonderful music, kind, professional. Thank you Emanuel for a great time!

The team absolutely loved his music selection, voice, and overall great Caribbean vibe. I will definitely book him again.

Emanuel Ector, one-man steel band, provided wonderful entertainment for our New Year's Party, 12/31/22. We said he were "Heading to Hawaii" and it was wonderful to get away for the evening. Two of our Board members asked me to have him come again.

Responsive, flexible, talented, intuitive - I cannot rate Emanuel highly enough! We hired Emanuel for our daughter's rehearsal dinner. Emanuel came fully equipped for his session with everything needed to perfectly channel his incredible musical stylings. His selections were perfect for the occasion with just the right mix of classic and contemporary pieces. I received so many compliments, I asked for his card for several guests. At one point, he even obliged with a lively rendition of the Electric Slide! My daughter and her fiance were enchanted. We could not possibly have chosen better than this talented, pleasant, consummate professional. The ratings are correct. Outstanding.

We are so very happy with Emanuel Ector he is the best plays a variety of music. This is the second year of having him for our fundraiser entertainment. Will be having him back again next year.

This was our first time booking Mr. Ector, and we couldn't be more pleased. He provided GREAT steel band music for a mixed-age birthday party: authentic steel pan sound, a fabulous mix of genres and eras that had 7 year-olds, 70 year-olds, and everyone in between out on the dance floor. Both his vocals and instrumentals were absolutely top notch. He was punctual, professional, and warm. And he was flexible when we needed to adjust our schedule. Highly recommended.

Thank you again for this wonderful artist.

Emanuel is extremely professional and talented. He arrived to our party an hour early to get set up and once he started he kept the jams coming with a big contagious smile. He played a great mix of classic reggae music and contemporary pop hits with a steel drum flair. It was a long party so he took short breaks but it was no problem, he kept the party going with a great playlist. Everyone at our party enjoyed having him and they all hung out a little longer to listen to him play the steel drum and his singing. We highly recommend Emanuel and hope to have him at our next party!

Mr. Emanuel was absolutely unbelievable!! He played for a birthday party for my husband and did an outstanding job. He had a great variety of songs, was super professional and our family and friends complimented him non-stop. Loved it !!!

Emanuel was timely, professional and played to our crowd. He took requests and my guests loved him! Will definitely call him again!!!

Emanuel was great , everyone enjoy him, I will recommend you all to everyone. Thanks again.

We hired Emanuel for our wedding in July. The guests were mostly American but with a few Trinidadians and we wanted to give them a taste of Trinidadian culture. The guests were extremely impressed with Emanuel's performance and made that abundantly clear throughout the rest of the wedding reception.

We were so happy with the performance that Emanuel Ector gave for our church services. There was an incredible atmosphere in our lobby before our services which inspired dancing and a conga line. People loved it! Then he took it to another level when playing on our stage. We loved having Emanuel with us and will definitely have him back for future events!

Emanuel is an amazing musician. His music whisked us away to the Caribbean....on a Sunday afternoon!

He has such a wonderful way about him. He read the crowd and each song was perfect. He completely unified the evening and everyone is talking about his awesomeness! I hope we have an occasion to use him again!

Emanuel was excellent! He played a wide variety of music and I often heard, "Oh, I love this one!" . I received a lot of compliments after the event about how much people enjoyed having the steel drums added to our event and how impressed they were by Emanuel's performance. It really added a fun vibe.

Music was GREAT!!!.. my guests enjoyed it!!
Thanks !!

Emanuel provided the entertainment at our community Caribbean Summer Party in Maple Lawn in Fulton. He's a 1-man show but sounds like a full steel drum band. He played classic Caribbean songs as well as some contemporary ones. He really set a fun vibe for our party of 220+ people. I highly recommend him!

Amy S.

Emanuel was brilliant! All our guests loved the music, and his selection if songs was thoughtful and beautifully played. Thank you!

Emanuel was awesome. Would highly recommend!

Emanuel was just super awesome! Was on time, set-up and performed all evening. He endured the chilly weather and rain, and kept on playing. Such a delight to be able to share his music with my friends and family. Will definitely bring back for more! Thank you Emanuel for a great evening!

HE WAS MY FAVORITE PART OF THE PARTY!

Emanuel was freaking awesome! Can't recommend him enough. Cannot wait for our next big event to book him again!

Emanuel was great to work with and has incredible talent!

Read the crowd well and was flexible with our students. On time and had no problem setting up and being ready.

We had a private Anniversary dinner at my home and he played for us while we had dinner. Emanuel was on time and pleasant and he played all our favorite songs. We will hire him again!

I was so please with Emanuel Ector's professionalism. He arrived ahead of his scheduled performance and was playing beautiful varied sounds from the Caribbean when guest arrived. He was most suitably dressed for the occasion and his manner was very easy, polite and professional. I had a lat minute change to extend his time for an additional half hour and he quickly negotiated a very fair amount which matched his rate. In that he was flexible added to his attractiveness for future engagements. He plays the steel drums exceptionally well and has such a wonderful singing voice. I encourage all to select him as your performance of choice for you next event.

Emanuel was not only punctual but he was also very formal, and helpful. His music was just what I was looking for as he did both original and song of my choice. I would definitely recommend him for any event!

Emanuel was nothing less then professional and talented! Many of our guest commented on how great he sounded, and some went and asked for his cards after the event. We will use Emanuel's service in the future!

Emanuel was darling, professional, extremely talented, a severe crowdpleaser. I could not of asked for a better entertainer for our party. Highly recommend this gentleman.

We hired Emanuel for an event and he was exactly what we wanted/needed. He was professional and easy to communicate with especially as we had to speak with him about time changes and whether he could set up in one location then pack up and continue on a boat. He was flexible and everyone loved his smooth Caribbean vibe. I would highly recommend him!!

Emanuel was a true professional in every sense. His music sounded great and the song selection was top notch. All our guests commented how much they enjoyed the steel drum/calypso music. It was certainly one of the highlights of the evening. Emanuel was prompt, courteous and professional.

He was perfect for our party. We changed the venue last minute and it did not cause a problem. He showed up early to set up and was a tremendous addition to the party. I highly recommend him.
