Hopeton Brown better known as Scientist and sometimes known as Overton Brown, from Kingston, Jamaica was a protégé of King Tubby (Osbourne Ruddock), one of the originators of dub music. The Scientist burst onto the reggae scene in the mid-’70s with a reckless mixing style that seemed to outdo even King Tubby’s wildest extravaganzas. He began his career as an engineer at Studio One and soon after at Tubby’s in the late 70s. Shortly afterward, he gained a reputation for a distinctive mixing style.
The Charities are a band from San Luis Obispo California that bring tons of energy to their live shows as well as cherish the magic of capturing their sound in the studio. Their music draws influence from many different genres; funk and soul being an anchor, their music touches on that Motown sound, jazz, disco, R&B, and rock n’ roll. Every member of The Charities adds a unique personality and sound that can be heard within their music.
