Peter Austin was an original member of The Clarendonians, a ska and rocksteady vocal group from Jamaica, active initially when he and Fitzroy "Ernest" Wilson came together in 1963. Both from Hayes in Clarendon Parish, the duo won several talent contests before coming to the attention of Studio One boss and producer Clement Dodd, while they were still in their early teens. Dodd took the duo into the studio, and recorded a series of chart-toppers in Jamaica, that helped to define the "rude boy" era of ska, alongside the other (initially less successful) young vocal group that Dodd was working with, The Wailers.
