Showcasing the Steelpan's versatility in Caribbean (reggae, soca, calypso), Afro-Caribbean, Contemporary, Jazz, Soul, Fusion and Classical music styles is the essence of PanNeubean Steel.

Clayton's musical,steelpan, adventure began when he enlisted into the United States Army as a trumpet player. This is where he was first featured as a trumpet player and soon highlighted as a steelpannist. After three active years in the military he obtained a Bachelors of Arts degree in Sociology from the Univarsity of Massachusetts @ Amherst, where he concentrated on social equality in hope of providing greater opportunity for those who are less fortunate. Clayton then obtained a Masters Degree in Music Education from the New England Conservatory of Music because he felt that all children should be provided with the chance to express themselves musically. (Clayton is Massachusetts Music Teacher Certified/k-12.) As a young child he suffered hearing loss. When he regained his hearing, music became his creative outlet. With music Clayton found his voice and many opportunities. Music has opened many doors, allowing him to view and speak of the world with broader awareness.
