Victor Provost

Victor Provost is a dynamic steel pan virtuoso and composer celebrated for bridging Caribbean traditions with contemporary jazz innovation. Hailing from the U.S. Virgin Islands and rooted in Trinidadian steel pan culture, he’s redefined the instrument’s role in modern music, blending Afro-Caribbean rhythms with jazz improvisation. His releases, like *Island to Island* and *Joropo Nuevo*, showcase his knack for fusing genres—think Venezuelan joropo, Brazilian baião, and soulful jazz—into vibrant, genre-defying soundscapes. A sought-after collaborator, he’s shared stages with icons like Monty Alexander and pairs his performing chops with a passion for education, teaching workshops worldwide. With tracks like *Her Favorite Shade of Yellow* (featuring jazz heavyweights Carlton Holmes and Reuben Rogers), Victor’s work is a sunny, rhythmic love letter to cross-cultural creativity.
