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.

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!!!!
