               HIs name is Ema'niah ...which means
    "Faithful Purpose".

Such a perfect expression to describe this gifted performer. His Unique and Positive approach to music combined with ultra professionalism...puts Ema'niah in high demand.

Born in Los Angeles, CA, he began his music career at the age of 14 in a top rated steel drum band. Beating pan..as the Islanders of Trinidad call it, is the newest musical experience of our time. And to Ema'niah, the playing of these enchanting instruments came naturally. He was born to make music! His steel drum playing and vocal talents dazzled audiences until one day...he vanished from the music scene. for over ten years, he developed his life and skills, joining not a band..but rather the COSMIC FORCES OF NATURE...bringing him closer to the music he loves, creating a new style of his own.

The Enchanting Sounds of Shinar.

Now reappearing, Ema'niah brings his world to you. He is the only known performer that simultaneously sings and accompanies himself on steel drums using six mallets. An avant-garde in his field, he is in a class by himself. one man band - an instant show stopper!!! THERE IS NO OTHER PERFORMER LIKE Ema'niah Shinar ANYWHERE.
