The Mighty Pep-
music has been his life ever since

From the tender age of 8, Pep was a member of the Anglican Primary School Choir of St. Lucia. When he moved to the island’s celebrated St. Mary's College, he continued singing in the choir and entered the school’s first Calypso competition in 1978, emerging victorious. The following year he was placed as first runner up. He then moved on to the A Level college when in 1980 he won the first ever Calypso competition held at the institution.
2 years later he quickly became involved in further musical activities when he moved to Cave Hill Campus, Barbados. He completed the Hat Trick of victories winning the Campus Calypso Monarch titles in 1983, 1984 and 1985. His return to St. Lucia was greeted with a barrage of requests to enter the local Calypso competition. In 1986 he rose to the occasion and was a crowd favourite when he was placed first runner up.
In 1987 Pep teamed up with ROWAN SEON to produce the ever popular "Unborn Child" with which he captured the National Calypso Monarch title. This was the beginning of a success story which saw him taking 5 Monarch titles, placing first runner up no less than 4 times, and placing 2nd on three occasions.

He went on to pursue an M.B.B.S course in general medicine in 1992, ending a career of teaching which spanned 8 years. Currently he is practising medicine in St. Lucia’s main hospital. Recently he opened his own office as general practitioner in Castries/St. Lucia.

Over the years, Pep, a brilliant songwriter as well as Calypsonian, has penned many songs with KAWAKTE both for MALCOLM MAGARON and for his solo album produced by Pitton Music Productions.
