Erphaan Alves has been performing for almost his entire life. At the age of nine, he entered his first Calypso competition at Rosary Boys RC (Port-of-Spain) and won. He has been in the soca scene for just over a decade, but his rise within the soca industry began in 2012 when his songs "In Your Eyes" and "Terrible" helped him qualify as a finalist in the International Groovy and Power Soca Monarch competitions respectively. Since then, Alves has been growing steadily with numerous hits such as "Come From? (Bumper Like Rain)", "Intentions (Wine & Touch)", "No Habla" and "Overdue".
In September 2019, Alves released “Soca Global”. Besides the fact that this song has a pulsing rhythm and an enchanting brass breakdown nearing its end, its lyrics also challenge the status quo. As discussed in a previous article, soca typically has a limited range of topics covered. Alves opposes this by opening the record singing “ah go go to my grave to support dis ting yeah (push de soca global)”, solidifying himself as an ambassador of the art form. CARIB VOXX had a virtual sit down with Alves to dissect the lyrics of “Soca Global”, explore the progression of his #noSeasons project, find out some more about his upcoming virtual concert and mixtape, and hear his thoughts on the absence of Carnival 2021.
