Phil Pratt

Born 1950 in Kingston/Jamaica, Phil Pratt is one of the most crucial reggae producers. He started to work at Studio One during the rocksteady era, and then moved on to [l=Caltone], where, as a sublabel, he launched [l=Sunshot]. Pratt was the one to push forward the young [a=Horace Andy], and during the 1970s he worked with other key artists of that era - singers like [a=Al Campbell] and [a=Dennis Brown] as well as deejays like [a=Dennis Alcapone] and [a=Jah Woosh].

In the early 1980s Phil Pratt moved to London, and when the digital dancehall era set in, he quit music business and opened a restaurant. Many of Phil Pratt's productions have been reissued through [l55699] and the French [l=Jet Set Records].
