Lloyd James, known professionally as Prince Jammy and later as King Jammy, is a seminal Jamaican producer and dub mixer born on October 26, 1947, in Montego Bay. He began his musical journey in the late 1960s, building amplifiers and repairing equipment in Kingston's Waterhouse district. After a stint in Canada, he returned to Jamaica in 1976, joining King Tubby's studio as a dub engineer. Jammy's innovative approach led to the production of Black Uhuru's debut album in 1977. In 1985, he revolutionized reggae with Wayne Smith's "Under Me Sleng Teng," introducing the first fully digital rhythm and ushering in the dancehall era. His clear sound and creative use of effects have solidified his legacy as a pioneer in reggae and dancehall music. ([en.wikipedia.org](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_Jammy?utm_source=openai))
