The nickname Scientist was given to him due to his magical mixing console skills that turned it into an instrument. His series of dub albums released in the 1980s are considered timeless classics, and in the 2000s, they were featured in the popular video game series "Grand Theft Auto." Furthermore, he has worked with R&B artist Marvin Gaye and the rock band Sublime. He continues to passionately produce music for over 5 decades to this day.
