Because he learned the ropes working alongside masters like Geoffrey Chung, Clive Hunt considers himself a “music producer, not a record producer”.
In these times of multi-song rhythms and one-hit producers, Hunt continues to thrive using the method that brought visionaries like Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry and Glen Brown acclaim in Jamaica and abroad.
Recently, he produced a number of quality songs and albums for VP Records by Etana (I Rise), Jah9 (Feeling rie) as well as a Dennis Brown tribute set.
Hunt emerged as a multi-instrumentalist in the 1960’s. His big break as a producer came with Satta Massagana, the 1976 debut album by The Abyssinians.
Over the years, Hunt has worked with an impressive list of artistes including Sly and Robbie, Bobby Caldwell, Alpha Blondy and numerous French reggae artists like Pierpoljak.
His production train chugs on in 2017. He is directing the new Jimmy Cliff album.
