BIO
Justin Richardson is a London based Steel pan performer. His talent has never stayed unnoticed. The ideas which seem so simple but work so well make the other's wonder.
He is also an outstanding Steel pan performer with 29 years of history, performing at all the prime events such as Notting Hill Carnival, UK National Steelbands Panorama Competition, Trinidad Steelbands Panorama Competition plus all over the UK and Europe and has played with many bands such as Pan Fever, Metronomes, Ebony, Mangrove, C.S.I Steelband Trust, Pantasia, Juma, Pantonic Next Generation, BP Renegades, Faze 3, and has also done work with Endurance.
Justin is currently teaching the Steel Pan art form in schools as well as performing on gigs such as weddings, parties, Steel pan workshops, and many other events.
In 1987 he came third in the Soloist Competition of the Steelbands Festival and that action increased his interest in music. Justin got his mother to buy him a keyboard and he started to compose his own musical tracks. At age fourteen Justin attended a studio course at the Whittington Youth Project where he was taught about M.I.D.I, Cubase sequencing and sampling. This new knowledge helped in the development of his music and style.
His quest for more knowledge saw him undertake a BTEC National Diploma in Performing Arts at Kingway College, and a H.E in Music Technology at Thames Valley University that enhanced his production skills.
Other achievements include :
Classorama - Roundwood Steelband - July 2014 - 1st place
Hackney One Carnival - "Best Music On The Road" - Pantonic Next Generation Steelband - August 2014 - 1st place
