The steel drums were a suprise for my grandparents and were a hit for all. During Hurrican Hanna, with the dark clouds and winds, Kristian's music made me think that I was outside dancing on a tropical island, and it was perfect!

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.
--Faith W. Philadelphia, PA 7/26/2007
Kristian was great. He was very professional, on time and friendly. Everyone had a great time and enjoyed the music. We got many compliments.
--Adriana J. Monroe Twp, NJ 7/22/2007
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!!!!
