I am a Steel Pan player with over 20+ years experience, playing a wide variety of music ranging from top 40’s to soca to jazz to elevator music all through many eras of music. I am willing and able to play at any type of function be it big or small, I have a repertoire of about 8hrs of music, so I can play any duration of length be it short or long sets. I have my own vehicle for which I can travel anywhere in or out of the GTA, also willing to cross the border if need be.
I accept up to 3 requests and can play any genre of music you can think of.
I don’t even know where to start this was an amazing idea and the execution was nothing short of brilliant. I am very happy with his performance.
I can’t wait to have another event just to hire Mr. Aaron again, highly recommend.
LovesounD was the talk of our wedding, his presence during our cocktail had people dancing and ready to enjoy our wedding! Everyone was very impressed and he played music that kept people moving. On time, quick responses, highly recommended
Aaron was the perfect addition to our wedding on October 19, 2024. He played during our cocktail hour and it was exactly what we wanted.
Aaron was great to communicate with and he sounded great!!!
If you are looking for a steel drum player, definitely hire Aaron. You won’t be disappointed!
Aaron was the perfect piece to our cocktail hour for our wedding in June 2024. I was in the search of a taste of home (T&T) to add to the cocktail hour and came across LoveSounD's profile. Smooth and easy to communicate with and his music filled the lobby of the hall where the cocktail hour took place. Everyone enjoyed it thoroughly. Would recommend and hire him for future services in a heartbeat. Thank you so much again!
He was excellent. Made an excellent addition to the cocktail hour.
Aaron was a hit at our cocktail hour! I've heard raves about his music and we loved having him a part of our wedding day.
Aaron played the steel pan for our black history month corporate event. He arrived in advance to set up, was very kind, and played while everyone enjoyed a Caribbean/African lunch. It was perfect and I highly recommend LoveSounD!
LoveSounD provided some fantastic entertainment for our Black History Month event in 2023 and we had to have him return for 2024. Definitely recommend his services.
It was great having him there! Seemed a little in a rush at the end but other than that he was amazing! Highly recommended.
Aaron (LoveSounD) was on time, super friendly and accommodating...and his music was amazing! We'll definitely be keeping him in mind for future opportunities. We will be posting photos from the event on our social media pages and website this week and will make sure to tag LoveSounD. Thank you!
Aaron was absolutely amazing! A hit at our wedding!!!! He got everyone on the dance floor enjoying the night. I surprised my groom with his performance and I couldn’t be happier!! Thank you so much!!
Aaron was Fantastic!
Everyone couldn't stop talking of how entertaining he was.
He put on a wonderful show and we can't wait for our next event.
Thank you Aaron for being so accommodating.

Aaron delivered. He was on time and setup ready to roll as promised. A perfect addition to our beach vibe. All our guests commented on how much they enjoyed having him here. Thank you Aaron!
Thank you so much for a lovely evening! My family and friends couldn't stop saying how much they enjoyed your playing and selection of songs! I hope I can do this again soon!
Thank you for being on time and professional, that goes a long way!
LoveSounD was organized, on time, professional and friendly. Aaron played at a celebration of life and the guests loved the pan and the player! There was a great assortment of music and the event was a huge success! Thank you Aaron
We were thrilled with LoveSounD's performance. He arrived early to set up. He had the audience completely engaged, singing, and dancing. The residents at Park Place Retirement Residence loved the afternoon!
Great Personality, Punctual, and Talented. Aaron felt like a part of the team not just a hired performer. I hope and plan to have him do more events for my organization. Highly Recommend.
Aaron was amazing! Would recommend him to everyone. The vibes were immaculate! And he’s a great guy. Thank you for playing our wedding!
The steel pan performance was terrific! Aaron skillfully gained the audience's attendance and appealed to all ages. The entire audience enjoyed his presentation. It was a 10 /10 performance.
Aaron’s performance was sensational. He was professionally and arrived early to set up. Aaron added live to our Black History Month with great music. Everyone loved his performance and gave great feedback. Thanks Aaron!
The middle schoolers thought it was “fire”- which is not a compliment they give ever say about a school event.
Overheard in Grade 3, "This is the best thing that's ever happened in this school and I've been here since preschool! It's never getting better than that.
Aaron is awesome, and the students had so much fun!
He was amazing and played a variety of hits!!
All the staff loved his music.
From start to finish, everything was perfect! Our guests enjoyed every moment. Our only problem was that we didn’t book for a longer period of time. Highly recommend, you will not be disappointed.
Aaron is a highly skilled and talented entertainer. He arrived on time and promptly began setting up. He was professional, yet fun and kept our guests entertained with an eclectic range of music. Aaron interacted with guests and kept them engaged as they mingled during cocktail hour. I would highly recommend Aaron's steelpan and percussion services for any event. He would be a welcomed addition to any setting! Thanks again Aaron!!
Thank you LoveSounD for bringing such joy to the hearts of our parents and students. Everyone was very happy, moving to the rhythm of tunes that everyone could relate to. The music was vibrant and very entertaining. I appreciate LoveSounD level of professionalism. He was on time, set up without any complications, and delivered a fantastic job! Highly recommended for any occasion.
Was super easy to work with. Showed up on time and played non stop. He made my wedding day better. Thanks sir
Aaron came to my brothers wedding reception and played for the cocktail hour. Totally elevated the entire experience for our guests. He did a fantastic job and played such beautiful pan music. Thanks so much, Aaron!
We loved his music and the service was impeccable
He came on time, followed our dress code and setup his equipment for the show
It was lovely and I highly recommend him for your next event
LoveSound Artist Aaron Fantasic . Very pleasant and professional.
Would highly recommend him and would definitely have him again.
We hired Aaron to play steel pan drums for our wedding reception cocktail hour. He was easy to communicate and work with, and his sample work was great. We wish we had a chance to see him perform live and hear his music, but all the feedback we received was that he was amazing. Great songs, and great sounding steel pans. Would absolutely recommend him.
Musician was fantastic. Very pleasant and professional. Everyone loved it.
Aaron/LovesounD was the perfect fit for our tropical themed wedding this past weekend! Aaron you did an fantastic job!! Everyone loved your performance and was in awe of the sound of the pan!! Walking down the aisle while you were playing, brought out so many tears. I can't even tell you how many compliments I got about you. So thank you, thank you, thank you!! You really added that special touch for our special day!!
Arron's performance was absolutely amazing, he was on time played the full one hour and was very entertaining, my guest were all very happy and was dancing to all the tunes :-). The only regret is that he was booked for a another appointment and we were not able to keep the music doing longer. I will have him back at my next event for sure. All in all FIVE stars!!
Cheers,
Ro
Was on time and professional. Highly recommend
Aaron/LoveSounD was THE highlight of our island-themed birthday celebration! A total pro, came ready to entertain and expertly played to the crowd which ranged from ages 1 to 80. Perpetrations were timely and clearly communicated. Would highly recommend
Aaron was great to work with from the beginning. He is a very professional, friendly and accommodating. His music was great and added a special touch to our daughter's wedding. I would highly recommend Aaron!
Incredible performer, great guy!!!!
On time and excellent entertainment. All my guests said the music was excellent! It was. Would highly recommend using LoveSound
Aaron was a great addition to our wedding reception. Everyone loved his performance and I would decinitely recommend him and book him again.
Aaron was a hit !!
From the moment we connected he was responsive and willing to help out in any way we needed.
He took requests from the guests without hesitation and provided an amazing evening for all in attendance.
I would refer him to anyone looking for an artist for their event. I will definitely be using him again.
LoveSounD was incredible. From our first interaction with him he was so easy going and helpful. He answered every question (and we asked a million), his playing was outstanding and he made our event so much more special. We will be working with LoveSounD again for future events and we are happy to refer him to ANYONE!
Aaron was amazing, arrived early and set up, we totally enjoyed his playing. Definitely will use his services again
It was an absolute joy to hire Aaron and add an impactful music experience to a surprise party! He plays a wide variety of music to satisfy all ages. Different decades and genres, we loved every minute. He was punctual, quick to set up/pack up, polite and overall good vibes.
I hired LoveSounD for a press conference for the City of Toronto. We wanted to add a fun vibe to the event and do something a little different. LoveSounD delivered! He brought the Christmas cheer early. LovesounD was flexible, collaborative and extremely professional. It goes without saying… extremely talented. Our guests enjoyed his performance and I sincerely look forward to working again in the future.
I booked Aaron for my husband's birthday. He showed up half hour early to set up and played the 5 songs I requested then he took over. First song he had everyone in awe with his energy. Just incredible to be able to watch and listen to steelpan in our own front yard. You immediately notice his passion for steelpan, it's in his blood. He mingled with guests and even played some of their requests. Truly enjoyed every moment of his performance. Can't wait to book him again next year.
He was professional: arrived early, set up fast, was wonderful when the guests wanted to interact 10/10 would hire him again!!
Aaron from LovesounD was very professional and a pleasure to deal with. His wide mixture of music that he played on the steel drums was very pleasing to the crowd and the addition of the drums to his pan was something very different. I definitely recommend him for any occasion, large or small, old or young.
Cheers,
SB
Our event started off a bit windly with a few drops of rain. But the calm soothing sounds of the steel pan from LoveSounD soon settled everything down to a calm vibe. The tempo increased to get everyone dancing before dinner, and then was just a perfect collection of soca, contemporary, reggae, and chutney music for the entire evening.
Background music sound could have been louder.
Price Range: $300 and up
Gig Length: 30 - 500 minutes
Languages: English
A professional and entertaining time with music that will take you back in time while fast forwarding to todays favourite music.
There will be steel pan, bongos, shakers and even a mic for karaoke! (Everything is wiped down before and after each show)
So come along and enjoy some Melodies On Steel with LoveSounD!
(Also fully vaccinated!)
