Christopher Leroy Rudder’s emcee/stage name ”Alleyne” (pronounced ahhh-lean) is his mother’s maiden name. The first of three children, (Andrew Rudder & Mark Anthony Rudder) Christopher called himself Alleyne because of the unconditional love and emotional support his mother gave him that helped bolster his career in music in Toronto, Canada and is the nephew of Barbados recording artist Bunny Alleyne,

Christopher (Alleyne) spent his early childhood growing up in a crime stricken neighborhood known as the jungle (Keele and Lawrence) He grew up in a culturally diverse neighborhood, comprised of many people from Caribbean and African descent, which exposed him to an eclectic selection of genres of music.

Alleyne’s parents eventually left the jungle to the suburbs of Thornhill, where he met fellow microphone fiend Ashley “Sherrkaan” Manoharan, Kevin “Kevlaar” Hewitt (Steel Halo), and Temus. Alleyne’s emerging relationship with these talented, entrepreneurial-minded artists contributed to his metamorphosis from a rapper to a master of ceremonies/producer/engineer, which culminated in Alleyne forming LimeStone Studios; a studio that fostered an environment for the completion of independent musicians’ albums and the development of Alleyne’s artistic and intellectual inventiveness, lyrical writing and vocal delivery skills as a hip hop artist, as well as mixing and producing skills as a producer/engineer.

With all the artists coming and going through LimeStone Studio’s Alleyne and Kevlaar formed a group called BlackSunz which recorded only one album called “Eklyptic Cypha” (1997) which was produced by Kevlaar and Alleyne. It went on to sell a few hundred copies locally. Despite the slow but progressive success, most of the BlackSunz members were still taken the bus instead of pushing a Benzie or a Beamer so they moved on.

Original members of BlackSunz: Kevlaar, Snagg (then Sherrkaan), Shifty Karma (then Esteem), 7 (then Krayzee), Alleyne and Temus went on to form S.I.N. (Strength In Numbers) which they would be guests on each others projects.

Together with Temus, Alleyne & Temus would later go on to record four albums; “Alleyne & Temus” (1997), “Dying To Survive” (1999), “Off The Record” (2000) and “Da B-Sidez” (2004) During that time Alleyne also recorded his first official solo album called “Nothing Else Matters” (2000).

In 2003 Alleyne’s career came to a sudden halt due to the diagnose and untimely death of his beloved step daughter who passed away from brain cancer in 2005. After being inspired by his step daughter’s ceaseless display of uncompromising courage and conviction in the face of death and despair, Alleyne returned to the Hip Hop game in 2005 with a re-ignited fire in his belly and began to play with a new paradigm, new values, new objectives & convictions, new lyrics and new head knocker beats.

In 2006 he recorded his second solo and long awaited effort “Everything’s Eventual” (2006) and with Temus once again “Collide” (2007). Also in 2006 Christopher “Alleyne” Rudder along with his brothers; Andrew Rudder and Mark Anthony Ruder (also known as “The Rudder Brothers”) launched and are the co-founders of an online magazine then known as“PulpMag” (Now it’s called Rogue Mag).
2006 also marked the release of their first low budget video for the song “Muzzle” (originally from “Everything’s Eventual” but was re-released on 2009’s “Push”) “Muzzle” sparked the beginning of SphinxPhilmz as Alleyne who was already talented with photography was overwhelmingly creative when it came to editing video. This led to editing various projects (ads, commercials, weddings etc...) for a wide variety of people.

Aside from his co-founder title Alleyne writes in his very own column for PulpMag (Now Rogue Mag) called “Hearing Aid” and with LimeStone Studios & SphinxPhilmz he was the producer as well as host/co-host, XML writer and theme music writer behind 5 of PulpMag’s 6 podcasts; “The PulpFiktion Video Podcast”, “The PulpFuzion Podcast”, “Sex & The Stars...The Podcast”, “Podcast: Free Your Mind” & “The BabyBlu RadioShow”. Alleyne, is also the video editor, cameraman and director of PulpMag’s “PulpTV””

When PulpMag changed to Rogue Mag all the podcasts were eliminated as Alleyne only wanted to focus on one video podcast “aLLeYNe & tEMuS: Life Unscripted.” Which follows the 2 artists along their musical journey dealing with life along the way. He still produces episodes for “Podcast: Free Your Mind” and still writes for Hearing Aid.

The newest CD by aLLeYNe & tEMuS is the long awaited 2009 release of “Push”
“...push for something better, push for brighter days and sunny weather, yo we in this together."
This CD is probably one of the greatest works ever recorded by aLLeYNe & tEMuS. Mature, confident, aggressive and calm, smooth and bouncy all over jazz and soul over-tones proven to be the real bases of who they are. it features a new level of production by aLLeYNe with guests such as Toronto's Trane Studio performance greats (flautist) Jef Kearns & SoJay. It reunites guests from previous albums such as Kaysun, Snagg (Sherrkaan), Shifty Karma (Esteem), 7 (Krayzee, 7th Seale), 8.0.1.7.3.5. and Spoken Word talent Andrew Rudder. One of the most exciting upgrades is introduction of a new free-lance DJ, D.J. R-Double.
