Born in Trinidad Tobago. Played pan for several years with theTropical Harmony Steel Orch. Arima, subsequently Cross Stars which later became NuTones,our arranger and tuner then was the late Sylvester {Scorpion} Garcia. Several years later after Syl's demise Nu Tones became national panorama champs under the guidance of Trinidad & Tobago celebrated steel band arranger the late Clive Bradley. I stopped playing pan around the middle 60s and became fully involved in Carnival and at that time worked closely with the late Harold {Sally} Sildinah. In 1971 I migrated to Canada worked and attended school to become an artist. During this time I got involved in Caribana in the city of Toronto where I assisted band leader Ken De Freitas for several years. It was around the middle 80s I became disasociated with Caribana and became a Christian. It was around 2001 I played pan again for the first time this time only in the church.
