Sugar Minott

At Studio 1 Sugar Minott

Sugar Minott began his career at Studio One. After auditioning in front of Clement 'Sir

Coxsone' Dodd in the early 1970s, he became the first artist to record new songs over

classic rhythms, singing over original Studio One tapes - the significance of which led

directly to the birth of dancehall, as Channel One, Joe Gibbs and hundreds of other

Jamaican producers quickly began releasing their own material based on these same

classic Studio One rhythms replayed by Sly and Robbie, The Aggrovators, Soul Syndicate,

Roots Radics and many others.
