About
Jason Roseman
|
|
Born
on the beautiful twin island republic of Trinidad and Tobago,
Jason Roseman, founder of Steelpan
Instruments Technology, is a second generation steelpan
tuner. He credits much of his success to his father, Joseph Roseman,
who introduced and nurtured Jason's deep love and respect for
the steelpan instrument.
Jason
started performing on steelpans at age eight and has traveled
extensively, sharing the indigenous art form of his beloved country
with the rest of the world. He also has taught steelpans at secondary
schools in his native Trinidad and in England.
As
a performer, Jason has graced the stage with the Ray Kennedy Entertainers,
Cassav, and Celia Cruz, to name a few.
As
a tuner, Jason has built steelpan instruments for individuals
and educational institutions in the Caribbean, United States,
and Europe. Living in the United States since 1997, he continues
to promote his steelpan art form every opportunity he gets.
