Austin Yolando Green, (nie Kevin, a name he adopted from his mother) was born in the community of Red Hills (Kingston, Jamaica). With the passion of music in his heart from childhood, it matured into a lifelong career mission. Now as a Reggae and Dancehall Producer “Austin Kevin Green” has seen the best and worst sides of the genre and utilizes all experiences on his musical path. As a well-respected studio engineer, he has been in the business of music production for over 14 years starting his illustrious career back in 1998 at Gargamel Music, home of the superstar Buju Banton, who is also his first cousin.
The subsequent recording of Bounty Killer on Hypnatic riddim, lead to a connection that still stands strong today. Impressed with how talented and determined this budding producer was, Bounty Killer immediately sealed the link and allowed him to do exclusive mixing projects during his studio session. Concurrently, Jet Star, one of the biggest reggae recording and distribution company based in England, took notice to Kevin’s superior production skills and drafted him into their organization.
