Alexander D Great

Calypsonian performance poet, writer, musician and lyricist

*

Calypsonian performance poet, writer, musician and lyricist. Alexander's work involves the use of word and lyric structures set to simple melodies, which he plays on the small guitar. The world created within these structures allows for satire, double-entendre and masquerade techniques to be explored fully. He is a qualified teacher, leads workshops all over the country and regularly appears on BBC local radio.


As well as coaching young, up-and-coming calypsonians for the Association of British Calypsonians (ABC), Alex divides his time between running a 10-piece band, his own small record label and doing calypso/poetry workshops in schools and colleges in the UK and the Caribbean.
