Scientist

Scientist, was a protégé of King Tubby (Osbourne Ruddock), one of the originators of dub music.
He was born Hopeton Brown, Kingston, Jamaica in 1960 (sometimes Overton Brown). Brown was introduced to electronics by his father, who worked as a television and radio repair technician.
He began building his own amplifiers and would buy transformers from Tubby's Dromilly Road studio, and while there would keep asking Tubby to give him a chance at mixing.
