Eclipse International originated from an idea of previous drummer, now lead vocalist Sir Mikey. He had a desire to form a band with friends and fellow musicians who shared a greater love and dedication to island music. In his basement, Sir Mikey asked four of his friends to come together and Eclipse International Band was formed. Originally from Trinidad & Tobago, Sir Mikey began playing the drums and steel pans as a teenager and part of the local scene for years, playing with numerous local bands. Petal, lead vocalist, is also from Trinidad & Tobago. She's also a recording artist that has been singing for most of her life and has spent many years mastering the art of entertaining and seducing her audience with her sultry, soothing voice. She is backed by her close friends, Doug on the bass guitar and Jeremy on the drum. Doug, a bass guitarist from Maryland, keeps the vibe flowing with unique, funky style. Also hailing from Maryland with Trinidadian roots is drummer, Jeremy, with an innate ability to woo his audience with his dramatic flair and rhythm.​
