Clive Chin is a legendary Jamaican record producer whose work includes seminal recordings by The Wailers, Dennis Brown , Lee Perry and Black Uhuru, among others. He began working at Randy's Record Store , his father's business, and began helping make the associated studio, Randy's Studio 17 , one of the most important Jamaican studios of the early 1970s.
Chin's first major commercial success was Java , an international hit by Augustus Pablo. After his family business moved to New York City, Chin spent some fifteen years running a Jamaican restaurant in Queens. He began producing again in 1998 (see 1998 in music).
