My name is Tyrone Marcellus Alleyne, but goes by my performance name; TM Alleyne. I was born in Trinidad and Tobago and went to reside in the United Kingdom with my mother as a boy. I am an electrical and electronic engineer by profession but fell in love with the pen and started writing books, plays, lyrics, poems etc. I travelled to most countries around the world courtesy of my role as a soldier in the British army, but never felt at home in any of those countries until I arrived in The Gambia in 2004. I am married to a Gambian lady and together we have three beautiful children. I have written two books for schools’ use in The Gambia for my commitment to the Gambian people.

My love for the country inspired me to write “Sweet Gambia” and  my wish  is to encourage others  both tourists and the business  community to come  enjoy  and invest in  this beautiful country. I speak from experience when I say a song can sell a country. My friends and I visit Mexico because   of the song “Going loco in Acapulco” and to Brazil because of the song “The girl from Ipanema” these were the results of beautiful songs written about these countries.

The song and video encompasses everything that is good about The Gambia such as the, people, food, nightlife, traditions, River Gambia, wildlife, historical sites, the weather, craftsmen hotels and  beaches.
