Dancehall producer and sound engineer Shane Brown says Jamaican artists are short-changing themselves when they fail to take the full complement of critical support staff, such as musicians and sound engineers on tour with them, while taking, instead, a throng of ineffectual “hype men.”
Award-winning Reggae/Dancehall audio engineer and music producer Shane Brown has expressed concern about Jamaican artists who unwittingly compromise the quality of their performances by using their hands to cuff the heads of their microphones.
Shane Brown is one of the most in-demand engineers in Reggae and Dancehall music. He comes from a long legacy of musicians and has been in the business for over two decades producing and engineering for Shabba Ranks, Ritchie Spice, and Tarrus Riley.
