Shotty Shane gets wild as producer
Since the late 1970s, Jamaican disc jockeys have doubled as music producers. The latest to jump into the game is Shotty Shane of SunCity 104.9 FM.
He has teamed with Iclips Records to co-produce the Wild Life rhythm and compilation album. It contains eight songs including the risqué Top Gallis by I Octane.

“I can safely say I’ve just entered the game of producing but wanted to do it for a couple years well. But as we know everything has its time and I think this is mine,” Shotty Shane told the Jamaica Observer’s Splash.
The Wild Life beat was created by Tryon “Tipical” Powell of Iclips Records. The artistes on it were chosen by that label and Shotty Shane Productions.

According to Shotty Shane, his objective as a producer is to be unique.
“What I will be bringing to the production table is something different in sound. Many producers are known for a distinctive sound and that is my goal, to let the world hear what I have to offer which is no-comparison products,” he said.
