About the Band

Musician and educator Jefferey Clayton founded PanNeubean Steel to share his passion for music and celebrate his Jamaican heritage. His chosen instrument, the Steelpan—originating from Trinidad and Tobago—symbolizes resilience and freedom, and its rich history inspires Clayton’s dynamic performances. Through PanNeubean Steel, he showcases the Steelpan’s versatility across Caribbean, Afro-Caribbean, jazz, soul, fusion, and classical styles, delivering uplifting and culturally rooted musical experiences.
