Alpheus met Tony Brevett of the famed vocal rocksteady group The Melodians whilst he was living in Florida, USA. Mr. Brevett took Alpheus to the legendary Clement Dodd and his great STUDIO ONE Label where he recorded his debut album Quality Time, in 1998. On some of those classic Studio One rhythms. He went on to sing a second very good more contemporary reggae album Everything for a reason, a few years ago with Special delivery label - France. In 2011, Alpheus embarks with the release of his NEW album on January 18th 2011 entitled From Creation on A-Lone Label (Lone Ark Production). This is a great album which consists of stunning re-creations as well as original compositions of authentically made ska and roots rocksteady. Produced by the talented Roberto Sanchez of A-Lone Label, a label and band that has built a good reputation for producing quality 70’s style reggae music and now this great ska and rocksteady work.
