He became a musician in the UK and toured the country with different bands. He inherited the name Young Tiger from the calypsonian Growling Tiger when he recorded a cover version of his song "Single Man". He recorded with a number of bands, including Humphrey Lyttelton's Paseo Jazz Band. Young Tiger's hits include "I Was There," "Calypso Be," and "Mamzelle Josephine." After not performing since the 1950s, he played again in 2006 at the BBC "Electric Proms" festival, where he performed a few songs together with the London is the Place for Me Allstars.
