About Alison Hinds

Born in England, ALISON and her mom moved to Barbados when she was 11 years old. After graduating from high school ALISON joined Square One, a Soca band made up of long time friends. Square One toured non-stop, playing everywhere from bars, hotels and eventually bigger venues throughout the Caribbean. ALISON’s first hit with Square One was 1996’s “Ragamuffin”, which won the Road March during the Barbados Carnival. The next year she repeated that victory as well as winning The Party Monarch, with "Twister"; making her the first woman in Barbados to capture both titles. ALISON recorded eleven albums with the band, including their debut Full Bloom. The CD was huge internationally and featured the No.1 single "Faluma”. Square One was at the peak of their popularity and so was ALISON, who was increasingly in demand also as a solo act.

In 2004, after getting married and having a daughter, ALISON decided to take a temporary “leave” from a gruelling six years on the road. The break allowed ALISON to see her career in a new light and soon realized that going solo would be a good creative move that allowed her to determine own schedule.

Eighteen months after her hiatus, ALISON went solo and was instantly embraced by her fans, enabling her to take her dynamic live show worldwide, touring throughout the U.S., Europe, Canada and the Caribbean. Crowned the undisputed “Queen of SOCA” by fans worldwide, her powerful, emotional vocals and high-energy live shows are legendary to Caribbean music fans.
