Clive Chin is a legendary
Jamaican record producer who's work includes seminal recordings by
The Wailers,
Dennis Brown[?],
Lee Perry and
Black Uhuru, among others. He began working at
Randy's Record Store[?], his father's business, and began helping make the associated studio,
Randy's Studio 17[?], one of the most important Jamaican studios of the early
1970s.
Chin's first major commercial success was Java[?], an international hit by Augustus Pablo. After his family business moved to New York City, Chin spent some fifteen years running a Jamaican restaurant in Queens. He began producing again in 1998 (see 1998 in music).
