Born in St. Elizabeth, and raised in Greenwich Town, Kingston, Jamaica, Blake's career began in the vocal group The Leaders with Milton Henry and Roy Palmer, who recorded three tracks for producer Joe Gibbs in the late 1960s.
[2][3][4] When The Leaders broke up, Blake continued to work with Gibbs, who issued his debut solo release, "Woo Oh Oh".
[3][6] He re-entered the music scene in the mid-1970s, releasing a single "Born a Fighter" for producer Teddy Powell,[7] before working with Bertram Brown's Freedom Sounds, with a series of recordings, now under the name Prince Alla, that are now regarded as roots reggae classics, such as "Sun Is Shining", "Bucket Bottom", "Lot's Wife", and "Stone".
Alla has continued to be in demand with digital roots producers, and has released several albums with the likes of Jah Warrior.
Since 2010 Prince Alla is touring the world with Rockers Agency and stays in popular demand for live performances across the globe.
