Artist Profile

BILL FORD
Steel Drums

BillFord

Bill Ford crosses musical borders from Brazilian and Caribbean, to R&B and Jazz. In the context of his compositions, modeled after contemporary and Jazz standards, the "Steel Pan" is the featured voice.

Raised in the metropolitan area of northern New Jersey, playing drums since age 12, studying Classical/Jazz piano and graduating from William Paterson University studying percussion, Bill Ford picked up the steel drum from nearby Brooklyn, New York's Caribbean enclave.

"The pan is really a combination of the rhythm aspect of drums and harmonic aspect of piano"
