Alkaline, cuyo nombre real es Earlan Bartley, nació el 19 de diciembre de 1993 en Kingston, Jamaica. Desde una edad temprana, su vida estuvo profundamente influenciada por la vibrante cultura musical que caracteriza a la isla. Criado en una familia de clase trabajadora, Alkaline encontró en la música un refugio y una inspiración.
Comenzó su carrera musical mientras asistía a la Ardenne High School, donde mostró un talento innato para la poesía y la escritura. Este periodo fue crucial para el joven artista, ya que fue aquí donde empezó a componer sus primeras letras y donde se familiarizó con el dancehall, un género que lo cautivó y que más tarde se convertiría en el eje central de su carrera.
En el año 2013, Alkaline lanzó su primer sencillo, "123", que rápidamente ganó popularidad en Jamaica. Sin embargo, fue con el lanzamiento de "Bruk Out" y "Things Mi Love" cuando su carrera realmente despegó. Sus letras explícitas y su estilo controvertido lo convirtieron en una figura polarizadora, pero innegablemente talentosa y creativa.
Alkaline no solo captó la atención por su música, sino también por su apariencia. Se hizo conocido por sus ojos tatuados, un movimiento audaz que lo distinguió de otros artistas y lo convirtió en un enigma para muchos. Este gesto, aunque inicialmente criticado, fue una estrategia de marketing brillante que aumentó su notoriedad y curiosidad entre los seguidores del género.
