While others chase the spotlight, Alvin builds it—from behind the boards, inside the booth, and through every artist who’s ever walked into Unseen Asylum and left transformed.

Whether it’s a gritty street anthem or a vulnerable confessional, Alvin knows how to make it hit.
His fingerprints are on tracks that have reached national ears, including platinum-level productions like Haiti Babii’s “Change Ya Life”. But Alvin’s impact isn’t measured in plaques—it’s measured in the confidence he instills in artists, the clarity he brings to chaos, and the consistency he delivers session after session.

He’s also a cultural steward. In a region often overlooked by the industry, Alvin has helped build an infrastructure of independence. Unseen Asylum isn’t just a studio—it’s a blueprint for creative sovereignty, and Alvin is one of its chief architects.
