Lee Perry
Real Name:
Rainford Hugh Perry
Profile:
Lee Perry, or commonly known by his nickname Lee 'Scratch' Perry (born 20 or 28 March 1936, Kendal, Jamaica - died 29 August 2021, Lucea, Jamaica) was a Jamaican record producer and singer noted for his innovative studio techniques and production style. Originally called "Little" Perry, in reference to his height of 5'6" (1.68m), he was a major founder of reggae and dub genres. Perhaps most famous for fronting Lee Perry & The Upsetters he started out working with ska and cut his first record in 1959. He went on to work with a variety of musicians and producers, not always on the best of terms. His first record on his own Upset label was entitled "People Funny Boy," and was a direct attack on Joe Gibbs of Amalgamated Records.

What can you say? Lived as a legend, and left a huge huge amount of quality transcendental music behind for us. He is one of the couple of people who really influenced me to become an audio engineer myself, and I've been listening to him every day for the last 20 years. I'd call dub the granddaddy of pretty much all new musical genres coming after it, hip-hop, jungle, dnb, techno, house and so on, and those obviously became the basics of today's pop music. Most people don't even know the huge influence of dub on how we mix music today, how we utilize effects, how we approach production etc.
Lee "Scratch" Perry was a genius, "Mad Man Dubwise", rest in peace

RIP Lee Perry. Legend. I made the effort to get to one of his gigs just before the pandemic. It was a problematic gig starting 3 hours late, and I managed to stay for just 4 songs but glad I made the effort. This man is one of the reasons I own a mixing desk.
