Adrian Sherwood biography

Long one of the most influential and innovative figures on the U.K. reggae scene, producer Adrian Sherwood and his famed On-U Sound label pioneered a distinctive fusion of dub, rock, and dance that made waves not only in roots circles but also in the pop mainstream. His work throughout the late '70s and '80s helped bridge the post-punk and reggae scenes, with acts like , , and other more rock-bred bands all releasing music marked by Sherwood's dubby production style. Sherwood continued merging stylistic worlds throughout the '90s, 2000s, and beyond, working with reggae legends like one moment and the next. Sherwood offered up his first solo effort in 2003 with the frenetic digital dub of Never Trust a Hippy, and released several other solo albums from that point on, dotted among his work with other artists. Sherwood remained regularly active as the years went on, producing albums like 's 2022 set Midnight Rocker and curating the female-focused various-artists presentation Dub No Frontiers that same year.
