This is a Scientist fan site created by a devoted fan. Overton Browne, aka Scientist, does not log into this site. You will not be able to contact him via this page, nor will you be able to download any of the songs posted here. However, please feel free to post your support and appreciation for this legendary dub master and remember to purchase as many Scientist albums as you can afford. Jah bless.



Scientist, born Overton Browne in Kingston, Jamaica, 1960 (and also known as Hopeton Browne), was a protege of King Tubby, one of the originators of dub music. He came to prominence in the early 1980s and produced many albums during the first half of the decade.



Many newer fans discovered his music when his 1981 album Scientist Rids the World of the Evil Curse of the Vampires was used on the soundtrack for the popular video game Grand Theft Auto III (2001). The tracks on the fictitious radio station K-Jah are composed entirely of songs from this album.
