[1] His transition to soca megastar proved complete when he cued the HD band into his 2018 monster hit ‘Overdue’.

Erphaan Alves was born on 23 November 1991, in Chaguanas, Trinidad and Tobago, where he grew up with his parents and brother.

[7] Soca originated in Trinidad and Tobago and was created by Trinidadian Garfield Blackman, who felt calypso was fading away.

[11] The musician offered his hit single 'Overdue' and an energetic collaboration with the soca queen Destra Garcia called 'Waistline Pelting' to 2018 carnival.

[12] Erphaan's success can be owned by the strong support system he had from family, friends, and St George's College, the secondary school he attended.

[23] In May 2019 at the Vas Lounge, Woodbrook, Trinidad, EA premiered the music video for his latest single under the #noSeasons project, ‘Lock On’.

Erphaan reflects a diverse musical style, bringing a fresh pop-type sound to soca.
