Lee “Scratch” Perry was a pioneering Jamaican producer, songwriter, and visionary whose innovations transformed reggae and dub into global art forms. Emerging from Jamaica’s 1960s music scene, he worked with icons like Bob Marley and The Wailers, shaping the sound of modern reggae through his experimental studio techniques. Known for his boundary-pushing production at the legendary Black Ark Studio, Perry blended rhythm, mysticism, and sonic texture to forge an unmistakable style. His influence echoes across generations of artists in reggae, hip-hop, and electronic music worldwide.
