b. Jamaica, West Indies. In the late 80s O’Hare was employed as an apprentice studio engineer at Carl Young’s Grove Music Recording Studio in Ocho Rios. The novice soon proved particularly successful assisting Courtney Cole as both an engineer and a session musician working with artists including Prezident Brown, Tony Rebel, Jack Radics, Yusus Afari and Brushy One String. In addition to producing local hits O’Hare’s international success included sessions with Third World and Burning Spear. He maintained his association with the latter by remixing three volumes of the Living Dub series in a 90s style. As O’Hare’s career progressed he demonstrated his capacity as a composer, producer and backing vocalist. Having benefited from working with Courtney Cole’s Roof International he established autonomy in the early 90s when he set up his own X-Rated record label, recruiting Carl Nelson to assist him. In 1992 O’Hare enjoyed success with Yammie Bolo’s ‘Joe The Boss’ and ‘Be Still’, and in 1995 released Mikey Spice’s excellent debut Happiness, and Tanya Stephens’ Big Things A Gwaan. Later, O’Hare formed an allegiance with the popular disc jockey Michael ‘Mighty Mike’ Johnson from the locally based Irie FM radio station. The collaboration resulted in a series of continuous mix albums interspersed with radio jingles recorded by top Jamaican performers. O’Hare has continued to introduce new artists, enjoying particular success with Daweh Congo, Determine and Harry Chapman.
