    Aldwyn Roberts was born 18 April 1922 in Arima, Trinidad.

    He was commonly known as Lord Kitchener, Kitch or The Grandmaster.

    He was education at Arima Boys' Government School and was known as 'Bean', because he was very tall and slim. His secondary education was cut short at 14, following the death of his father who was also his mentor. He was always encouraged by his father to sing and play the guitar, and this led him to become a full time musician.
