Captain Sinbad

Captain Sinbad was the deejay alter ego of Jamaican record producer Carl Anthony Dwyer (born c.1955).

Biography Dwyer was born in Kingston, Jamaica, and entered the music industry as a deejay under the name Captain Sinbad on the Sound of Silence sound system, which at the time also featured Sugar Minott, with whom he recorded the "Pressure Rock" single. Minott had been associated with Clement "Coxsone" Dodd's Studio One label and studio for some years and took Dwyer there to record. He also recorded for Dillinger's Oak Sound label, these recordings compiled on the Again album in 1983. Although he recorded for several producers, including Minott and Linval Thompson, his debut album release was the Lawes-produced The Seven Voyages of Captain Sinbad (1982). This was followed in 1983 with a collaboration with Peter Metro and Little John on Sinbad and the Metric System. His productions in the 1990s included the Romantic ragga series of albums.
