About

Following just a gut feeling (despite warnings from peers), Chris Blackwell came to produce Bob Marley and The Wailers - taking them to the international stage.

Speakers

Chris Blackwell

Chris Blackwell spent his first 10 years in Jamaica, finished his education in England and returned home in 1955. His first job was as aide-de-camp to the governor of Jamaica, followed by a stint selling real estate, but it was the six months spent in New York, where he befriended Miles Davis and fell in love with jazz, that led him to a life in music.
