Born in St. Vincent, Becket's first love was the steel pan. As a teenager, he realized that he also had a gift for singing and he quickly became popular as a calypsonian.
In 1972, while a member of the U.S. Army, Becket decided that he wanted to pursue a singing career and as a result he performed in the successful U.S. Soldier's Tour-Hawaii 1972-1974. His professional career began in 1975.
As a veteran calypsonian Becket has performed throughout the Caribbean, Canada, Spain, England, Columbia and the United States all manner of venues including college tours and festivals.
In 2000 he made history becoming the first Caribbean artist invited to perform at the U.S. Open tennis tournament and was listed as one of the 17 Outstanding Caribbean Personalities of the 20th Century. In 2001 the Government of St. Vincent & the Grenadines appointed him as their Goodwill Ambassador.

I was fortunate to have experienced several of my first cousin Alston Beckett Cyrus performances, back up music by the band Asterisk. I was always in the stage area by dating one of the members of the band Asterisk, whose now my husband. Undoubtedly, you are one of the best throughout the Caribbean and the best out of St. Vincent and the Grenadines. You are my favourite, and it's not because you're my cousin. You are just one of the greatest.
