Within the last week of September 2022, I recorded a “Spotlight on SC State Communications Majors.” This “Spotlight on SC State Communications Majors" featured two of my classmates, Slyverster Brown and Benjamin Gadson. Slyvester interview Benjamin on five differnet questions: 1. Tells us a little about yourself. 2. Why did you choose to come to college here at SC State? 3. What are the best and maybe the not so great things about going to school here? 4. Why did you choose to major in communications? 5. What do you hope to do with your degree after college? Do you have a dream job?

Vista Steel Pan Instruments by Sharlene Luke

This blog post is presenting my radio commercial for steelpans. One of my favorite musical isntruments to play is the Steelpan. It is one of the most recongizable instruments in the Carribean. My mother taught me how to play this isntrument at a very young age. Around seven years ago, I started covering songs on my personal Steelpan that I liked to listen to, and ever since then I try to cover as many songs on my free time. Personally, this instrument brings me closer to my Carribean cutlure, since most of my relaitves live in the Carribean on two small islands called Trinidad and Tobago. I was trully blessed to learn this instrument at such a young age, and continue to do so as the years go by.
