Mad Professor, who goes by the name of Neil Fraser as well, gets his nickname from tinkering with electronic devices. When he was just 10 years old, he already built his own radio and a phone.
Later in his life, Mad Professor became famous for his unique stye in music production and remixes. It didn’t take long for him to be regarded as the best producer in dub and he managed to keep the genre relevant in the digital age. Co-productions with Sly and Robbie, Johnny Clake Pato Banton and Jah Shaka have been checked on his to-do list a long time ago.
September 17th will be the big day that you can finally see these two grandmasters perform together.
