DoMo decided to choose Steel Pan and over a decade later, DoMo has taught Steel Band ensembles in over 15 NYC schools, performed in many big venues, places and events in the country and internationally. Steel Pan is DoMo’s first instrument, but he also plays piano and drums. In Brooklyn, NY he played with CASYM Steel Orchestra. In Trinidad, he played with Invaders, Skiffle, Serenaders & Power Stars steel orchestras.

They then collaborated on an album in October 2013 titled “Earth Strong” that is streaming on all streaming platforms and recorded other music as well.
