Photo of Musa Basjoo, black spots and lifeless leafes. Overwatering?

Well, I got this Musa Basjoo in december. It was only a stem with no leafes. Quickly it began to develop leafes, but after short time, many of them got black spots and got quite lifeless.

The soil should be good since the guy I bought it from is a very skilled palm grower. He said it needs lots of water and I may have been exaggerated it.
Is this a typical sign of overwatering?
