About Me

By day Sawandi Simon makes his living in the medical field, keeping those around his way in Kingston, Jamaica mighty healthy. After hours, though, the good doctor turns to production, creating Dilla-esque Hip Hop instrumentals with elements of Jazz, Funk and, of course, Reggae. Having grown up in a musician’s household, Sawandi found a plethora of instruments (piano, trumpet, violin, saxophone, steel drums) at his disposal. Yet it wasn’t until an epiphany later in life (while standing at a bus stop listening to The Roots’ 'Things Fall Apart') that he realized that a career in beat surgery was his true calling. This medicine man’s sonic efforts offer a melodious remedy for undernourished ears. You've been marked on my visitor map! Click to zoom in.
