"Sounds like...a steel drum player influenced by banjo virtuosos, Chinese acrobats, French soccer heros, controversial rappers, John Cage, pop superstars, Tim Burton films, and Russian jugglers, and who has extensively studied musical composition from Bach to Bone Thugs -n- Harmony, Mozart to Mahavishnu Orchestra, Stravinsky to Sean Paul ....basically."
