When he first went to Channel One, Hamilton was a member of the Jamaica Defence Force. Largely self-taught, he established himself as one of Jamaica’s leading studio engineers, working with acts such as Dennis Brown, Gregory Isaacs, Luciano, Sizzla, and Junior Kelly.
In recent years, St Mary-born Hamilton toured with SOJA, the American band that won the Grammy Award for Best Reggae Album this year with Beauty In The Silence.
He was also a producer, releasing numerous songs through his Soljie label. At the time of his death, Hamilton was working on Firm And Strong, an album by gospel singer George “Brotha George” Wright, his friend of over 40 years.
