Michael Antoine of Sounds of Steel, is a second generation Steel Drum Player. The Sounds of Steel that originated in the Islands of Trinidad n Tobago with a New school twist. I have been playing the drum since the age of 9 yrs old, my father (George Antoine Sr.) brought the sounds of the Steel Drum to SWFL in the late 70's. He started a local band called SWFL Steel Drum Band. My brothers (George Antoine Jr., Harold Antoine) & Myself (Michael Antoine) continue to carry on the Legacy of our father. We are now Stronger than ever with the passion of the Pan in our hearts.
Michael is a great performer and a terrible person too. We enjoyed him very much!!
What a delight. All of our cooperate guests and families loved every bit of our steel drummer. He had all his equipment set up in place and on time. He played, he sang and came dressed for the part. Cudos to him for a wonderful experience. Hope to use him again real soon.
Micheal was wonderful! His music is really amazing and he did fantastic at our event. Don’t hesitate to book him for your next party or event.
Showed up on time. Was very accommodating. The music was just what we were looking for. Laid back. Not too loud.
absolutely nothing to complain about it. He was right on time, looked very nice and my Guest liked him and his performance very much.
Sounds of Steel was excellent to work with throughout the whole transaction. Showed up to our event early, set up, performed a wonderful show and added little extras for us. We were very pleased and would highly recommend them.
Nice music showed up on time and performed as a professional. Music was v good and created amazing atmosphere for our grand opening.
He was early, patient, prepared, friendly. I got exactly what I wanted! Highly recommend!
Would use again. Perfect!
Michael was easy to work with, everything went smoothly from booking to the end of the night. He was fantastic! We were in a lighted boat parade for our Christmas party and the steel drum set the mood. Thank you so much for making our evening extra special. Jay was a blast too!!
We had a small informal wedding in the Florida keys. It was perfect.
Michael did a phenomenal job! He was professional and knew how to engage the crowd. He played a variety of music and we are booking him for all our events, going forward!
He was a very pleasant and nice person. I was hoping for more music and less playing of prerecorded stuff. Also, I thought it would be more than one person. It was fine for the outdoor party we had.
It was the best time ever. I will definitely hire them for my next event. The steel drums to set the evening off and then to move into the DJ was awesome. Thank you so much!
Michael did an amazing job playing the steel drums at my family gathering! He accommodated all of our requests without hesitation. His personality fit right in with my family's. At this point, we're probably gonna be sending him a Christmas card. 😊
Michael went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time, despite bad weather. Great guy, great music, great party!!
Sounds of steel is a great one-man steel band for any party! We have hired him several times for our outdoor corporate event.
Provided fun and festive background music for our cocktail party. He understood all of the ladies wanted to talk and kept the music fun but not too loud so we could hear each other. Professional and friendly, would definitely ask him to perform again.
Really, there are no words to say how great the night was. We had about 25 people at our home for my wife’s birthday party. The music, singing, and steel drum playing was exceptional!!
We hosted a beach party and Michael was excellent. It rained just before the party was to start and he was extremely flexible . He set up inside for a little bit while I'll guests waited for the rain to stop . He then moved outside once it stopped. He had such a great attitude and his music was a hit ! I would highly recommend him !!!
Two thumbs up!
Michael Antoine of Sounds of Steel was excellent. Highly recommend him. Anthony and Michele.
Excellent! On time and professional. Guests loved the music
The evening segued from the aftermath from a rainy afternoon and attendance was lower than expected. The highlight of the evening was the entertainment from the steel drummer. We will definitely have him back again for another event.
Thank you
Friendly, works with the guess to acomódate their request
Michael, with Sounds of Steel, brought such a good vibe to our birthday party. Everyone commented they felt like they were on the Lido deck of a cruise ship. He brought a great variety of island music mixed with some current music. I would highly recommend him. You will not be disappointed!
Michael was on time, he set up and started playing right away. The crowd loved his performance!
Hiring Sounds Of Steel to play at our wedding reception on North Captiva Island was one of the best decisions we made. The music was excellent and everyone commented on what a great addition it was to our big day. Michael was easy to work with, he was quick to respond, and arrived on time as planned. I would highly recommend Michael and Sounds Of Steel to anyone looking to add a steel drummer to their next event.
Michael was simply amazing! The guests and myself were so pleased with his professionalism. I would highly recommend him to everybody.
Michael is a perfect gentleman, terrific musician, and his music set the tone for our outdoor event. He chose his spot and set up while we were at the wedding rehearsal and was set to go when the guests arrived. We highly recommend him.
We had a special religious service on the beach and the steel drum was a wonderful addition. The music added a lot of atmosphere. We really appreciate Sound of Steele's contribution. What would have helped would have been more communication and a bit less of the recorded background.
We throughly enjoyed the music! Great addition to our party. Can’t say enough wonderful things!
Thank you so much!
Michael is lovely to deal with. Great music for beach setting!
Music was nice...when he got there.
Michael was fantastic! His music was great but even more importantly was the perfect volume. He could be heard both inside and outside of our home (he was outside) but was never too loud for conversations. An unexpected rain shower moved him under cover and closer to guests, yet people could still talk in normal voices while he was playing.
What a great musician...he was perfect and everyone loved it! He really made the party a success.
Great player!
It was not only steel drums, it was music/DJ in between ... everyone enjoyed it although waited for pictures and Live video posts for the times he played the steel drums
Just exactly what we were looking for. He was courteous, professional and wonderful musician.
Was great everyone enjoyed the music
Steel Drum was perfect not to loud and perfect for my inside event. He did an outstanding job. Very professional and friendly, was prompt and prepared. I would for sure hire him again.
Thank you,
Belva
Michael was booked for a private poolside birthday celebration for our three granddaughters who were vacationing with us at Ft. Meyers. What a delight - the 3 girls and their brothers all danced (ages1-13) as he played. Their parents commented that he was one of the highlights of the trip. THe Denver granddaughter smiled and applauded throughout the performance and finally invited him to go home with her to her house. He won the hearts of all of us. Thank you for a wonderful, fun filled evening! Diana
Drummer was supposed to play as guests were seated, bride coming down isle, softly during ceremony and as guests were leaving....did not play as bride was arriving or during ceremony and was packing up to leave before any guests left. Mother-of-the bride spoke to him, said she had paid for an hour and he brought equipment back out again. Was supposed to play as mother-of-the-bride read the Irish Wedding Song and he didn't. For $300 it was a total disappointment!
Response from Sounds Of Steel:
I preformed as guest were arriving as discussed, i pperformed as bride and and bridal party walked down the isle as discussed. Not to mention i was told to started early due to rain clouds rushing in and i did so. When the wedding was over i proceeded to pack up and i was told that i wasnt finished so i set back up and continued to perform with the weather hanging over us. I preformed all songs requested. I was so far away that i could not even hear what was going on and was told i could not move any closer. I have never had a request to perform while the officiant is speaking so i did not. There also was no power provided for me to perform.
Sounds of Steel was great to work with - so easy for us! Great background music for our company poolside reception.
Everyone loved Sounds of Steel! Thank you for your part in making it a wonderful evening.
Thank you for adding the cherry on top of our party! The music was great and Michael is very kind and professional.
The music was great and professional . We would not hesitate to recommend to others
Great! Despite the deluge, Michael played for as long as he possibly could. The music was excellent and the event was enjoyed by all. Thanks Michael for staying as long as was safe...
Michael was the perfect choice for our event. He interacted with our guests, the song selection was spot on the the volume was great for listening and conversation!
Michael was hired to be our ambient steel drum player for a corporate event on the beach. He arrived early and was the ultimate professional. Music was excellent, he created just the atmosphere we were looking for. I am really glad we hired him. Thank you for your time and talent, Michael!
I hired Michael for a tropical themed corporate event. He was great and everyone commented how much they liked the music! He played continuously and also sang, which was a plus that I wasn't expecting. Great job and I would definitely recommend and hire again!!
He was great, music was fun. I would highly recommend Sounds of Steel.
We loved the music. Michael did a wonderful job!
On time, organized, ready to play. Friendly, talented, cooperative. Could not have asked for more.
Sounds of Steel was terrific we were very pleased and would love to have Michael perform again! Thank you so much!
If you need someone for an event or party he is the one to choose!!! It was sooo easy and he was awesome!! The music was great, he was early and great to work with!!! thank you it was everything I was expected!!!
Michael was totally awesome! He played at our wedding rehearsal party held poolside at LaPlaya in Naples. His music got everyone into the spirit of this tiki themed BBQ. Peoples were dancing, dining swimming and using the hot tub. I enthusiastically recommend him.
We had a BBQ/Pool Party at our Clubhouse for all the residents of Belle Lago. Michael Antoine did an awesome job of keeping us entertained with steel drum music. Thanks so much!!
Response from Sounds Of Steel:
It was a pleasure for me to perform for your event. The day turned out great to be great after all. Thank you so much for deciding to use my services. Enjoy Life
Arrived on time, played good music with very little breaks, very personable, couldn't be more pleased with this musician.

You can say that i was born into the Steel Drum game, my father George Antoine Sr. Who actually started the first Steel Drum band in SWFL during the late 70's. He is no longer taking on any gigs at this time. No worries though, he has left his mark in the music world with his three very talanted sons. George Antoine Jr., Harold Antoine, and myself Michael Antoine. Born & bred with the passion of the pan in our hearts. As you can see i come from a long line of musicians so my influences come from within. At a very young age I was going on and learning the ways of the steel drum music industry. I feel this is what I was meant to do so here I am.
