More About SherwinCooper

Sherwin Cooper is more than your typical pan man from Gasparillo, south Trinidad. He is also a live sound engineer and disc jockey with aspirations of playing the piano.

Sherwin’s life journey is an example of the person and musician that he has become. Sherwin had to convince his family at the tender age of 14 that he was capable and responsible of taking care of responsibilities. His parents only wanted the best for their son as they felt that he deserved better and did not want him to waste his time in the pan yard or behind the instrument that he loved.

Sherwin’s determination to learn how to play the steel pan, and not just one but two (proficient on the single tenor and the double guitar), provided him with the opportunity to see parts of the world and explore various parts of our twin island republic of Trinidad and Tobago.

Exploits in competition privately or on a national stage with Fonclaire and Skiffle Bunch or national performances for major companies provided
Fun Stuff about the Artist

Life on the Street

As a Steel Pan Entertainer most of the time when i perform at a dinners in restaurant etc it turns into a party, I always tell the patrons when your are spending money your must enjoy yourself to the fullest !

Embarrassing Moment

My most embarrassing moment as an entertainer is while working on a cruise ship with a vocalist in a lounge, while i was performing she pulled out a banana and stated to eat it in from of the audience, she was new at the time and dint understand certain protocol. But now she is very professional.

My Instrument

I don't have a special name for the instruments i play because they are unique and they are the only instrument that was invented in the 20th century and they are called The Steel Pan and I have an innovation of the which is an electronic one that is called a Epan. However they are my wives and you all know music is a jealous woman lol
