Jamma has been playing the steelpans for the last 29 years and has never looked back. The pan is such a wonderful sounding instrument, which gave him a burning desire to play it to levels of excellences. This certainly payed off with the winnings of three (1987, 1998, 1999) National Steel Band Soloist Championship of Great Britain.

After this he took up more of a commercial look at the music. He was producing and performing at many events, but still was looking for a bigger musical outlet for his talents. The 1990's saw the birth of the Jamma Caribbean Jazz Band. Using the steelpan as a lead instrument, mixed with the sounds of double bass, piano and saxophones giving a new flavour to UK's Jazz festivals.

The Birmingham School of pan came about due to the demand by youngsters in the community wanting to play the instrument. Jamani, my son who was 7 at the time, had been learning to play and has been performing on the pan for some time.

Steelpan is a beautiful creation, originated in Trinidad & Tobago in the late 1930's and continued to evolve up to date, and is now played worldwide. When played by a professional the instrument transports your mind, soul and body into natural movement, bringing out a variety of emotions. Jamma has recorded many albums which you will most definitely enjoy.

For excellent Caribbean entertainment, whether you're looking for cool background music or up tempo Calypso to keep you dancing all night long, Jamma is the man! Also Hearts Aglow records has a wide selection of Steelband music for home entertainment.
