Jeremy Harding

Probable

Jeremy Harding is a Jamaican producer who, with his brother Zachary, founded 2 Hard Recordings in the 1990s and became an important figure in dancehall's global crossover. He produced the influential 1997 Playground riddim, home to Beenie Man's "Who Am I," Mr Vegas's "Nike Air" and Sean Paul's early single "Infiltrate," and is closely associated with launching Sean Paul's career as producer and manager. His work helped set the template for late-1990s and early-2000s dancehall.
