Probably the most acknowledged and longest active Reggae/Dub producer/artist. In his long career having released an estimated 150 albums, Perry is known for his innovative production techniques as well as for his charismatic and eccentric character. He won a Grammy for his album "Jamaican E.T." in 2003. Perry is married to a Swiss and has been living in Switzerland since the late 1980s.
