Starting his career as an engineer in the late 1980s, Dave Kelly, a highly respected record producer from Jamaica, made a name for himself in the music industry. He initially ventured into producing at Penthouse Studio owned by Donovan Germain. However, his passion and talent led him to establish his own label named Madhouse Records in collaboration with business partner Janet Davidson in 1991. Dave Kelly’s distinctive production style, which deviated from the structured dancehall style prevailing in the early digital era, brought about a revolution in the industry. This innovative approach propelled him to immense success as he recorded numerous songs that claimed the top spots in both local and international reggae charts. Renowned for his contributions to the dancehall genre, Dave Kelly became a driving force behind iconic riddims like “Joy Ride,” “Showtime,” “Fiesta,” and “Eighty-Five.” His profound impact on the music scene cemented his status as one of the most accomplished and influential dancehall reggae producers in Jamaica.
