After graduating from Vauxhall he attended Trench Town Comprehensive high school. In that period of time he also met “Tony Walcott” who refined his style of singing.1978 Tony took him to Channel One Records to record: (Tale of Two Cities) he also took him to the legendary  (Studio One Records) this led to such hits as (Why) (Here I Stand) and (Predictions). After leaving school he was approached by Leon and Chester Symoie from (Trillseekers) label to record some songs this led to Carlton first Lp titled “Soweto”.
