Producer and engineer Collin “Bulby” York has been making music sound better for more than thirty
(30) years.
His list of credits reads like a who’s who of Pop music: No Doubt, Rihanna, Britney Spears,
Madonna. It’s Reggae and Dancehall that the Kingston, Jamaica native is best known for, though. As
one of Jamaica’s most in-demand studio men, he has put his touch on signature records by Sean Paul,
Bounty Killer and Beenie Man, to name a few.
Bulby got his introduction to music making as a youth, when he started following his uncle, Firehouse
Crew drummer George “Dusty” Miller, to the Waterhouse, Kingston studio of dubmaster King
Tubby. Young Bulby was soon learning the ropes of recording from the Godfather of dub music, and
one of the most influential audio engineers of all-time. “I didn't realize he was such a legend, I just knew
he was way ahead of his time,” Bulby says of Tubby. “He was building a top-of-the-line studio with a
drum booth in the ceiling — I was there helping soldering and rewire stuff.”
After graduating from Kingston’s Dunoon Technical High, he got a summer job at Jamaica’s then
brand-new Mixing Lab Studio. His first session was with Junior Reid.
