From running a jukebox business in Kingston to a record shop and pressing plant in New York, Joseph Hoo-Kim had the music industry in his veins. It was as founder of Channel One Studios however that the producer made his biggest impact. Following Hoo-Kim’s death in 2018 at the age of 75, David Katz looks back at the extraordinary legacy of this irrepressible reggae maverick.

Joseph Hoo-Kim was one of a handful of record producers that indelibly changed the shape of Jamaican popular music. Through Channel One, the recording studio and record label he launched in 1972 in the heart of a west Kingston ghetto, Hoo-Kim became the leading record producer of the roots reggae era, his studio churning out more hits than anyone else. Channel One was also at the vanguard of the dub LP and the place in which the dancehall style first came to fruition. Influential musicians like Sly and Robbie joined forces there too and the Roots Radics, Barrington Levy and Yellowman also emerged from the stable. Due to the innovations of Hoo-Kim, his brothers and his team, there is no overstating the role that Channel One played in the development of reggae, and indeed, the popular music of the western world.
