Description
Splash is a single tenor steel drum one-man band and is the 2009 GigMasters Rising Star Award Winner for Top Steel Drummer. Splash earned the most revenue from GigMasters bookings in — more than anyone else in the United States and Canada.
His melodious tenor drum is complimented perfectly by authentic backing tracks expertly built from scratch by producers at Mobydread Productions. Clients benefit from having the full rich sound of a whole ensemble, but in a more compact package. Though the repotire features mainly island favorites: reggae, soca, calypso and salsa, it also includes contemporary pop, rock, country and smooth jazz if the atmosphere requires it; essentially, any event theme can be accented perfectly.

Feedback
- Splash is amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We can't thank him enough for his talent and enthusiasm. My entire guest list wanted to know where I had found Splash and asked him for his cards. I think one person even asked if he gives steel drum lessons. The kids loved the experience that he added to the Surf Monkey theme of the party and the parents felt like this party was also for them. We couldn't be any happier! -- Nancy M, Melbourne Beach, FL, 9/27/2008
- I could not have been more pleased !!!! Excellent communication before the event. Arrived early. Very charming, handsome, polite, and WOW .... that steel drum !!!!! A wonderful person !!! A wonderful entertainer !!! We will definately have him back again and I can't wait !!! -- Carol R, Grant, FL, 8/13/2011
- Splash is an awesome talent, we have spent some time in Trinidad and Tobago, and have experienced phenomenal players, and he definitely excellent. However it is his personable and accommodating personality that stood out the most, because some aspects of my event did not occur as smoothly as i planed. He was hired for a fee, but I feel like he did us a favor. I would definitely use him again and and also recommend him to my collages. -- Greg Z, Melbourne, FL, 7/26/2008

- Splash played our wedding on 4/25/09 for 1 hr while guest arrived. I heard nothing but great comments about his playing. There were other musicians there that even commented about Splash and how impressed they were with him. I would highly recommend him for any event. -- Darlene K, Cocoa Beach, FL, 4/25/2009
- Andrey from Splash was fantastic in working with us. We were planning a wedding from quite a long distance away, so our plans were quite fluid until just a few days before the event. Andrey was so flexible and accomodating with us. He stationed himself perfectly on the beach before and during the wedding, and the music was the perfect touch to a wonderful ceremony. It was SO hot out that morning, yet he kept his sense of humor and even taught the kids about how the steel drum works. I would definitely recommend Splash to anyone who is looking for a steel drum player. -- Julie H, North Palm Beach, FL, 6/20/2009

- The host and hostesses and the guests of the party LOVED Andrey Plata of Splash!! He arrived on time, was very professional, estremely talented, had impeccable manners, and kept our party "happening!" Even though it was a hot July night, we could not get our guests inside the house for the desserts in the dining room because they wanted to be outside where Andrey was playing! We will DEFINITELY hire him again for a party and recommend him to our friends! We could not have been more pleased with Andrey and his choice of music and his talent! Thank you, Andrey - you are the BEST!!
