Simeon Superville has been a composer from 2009 to the present. At this time he is also the captain of single pan band Stardust Steel Orchestra. Though it is “a little strenuous to do both - being a composer and captaining the band,” Superville says he still gives his best efforts, as a member of the band for a year to date. He also does a lot of ‘stage side’ music for Stardust as well.
In 2013 Superville put forward Musical Giants as his melodic work for pan and in 2014 there were two, Roll It Back and Steelband’s Dark Horse. For the 2015 Panorama season he came with Fully Loaded.
For the 2016 Panorama season he is back with Soca Ruption, the track featured here.
