He left King Tubby's at the end of the 1970s and became the principal engineer for Channel One when hired by the Hoo Kim brothers, giving him the chance to work on a 16-track mixing desk rather than the four tracks at Tubby's. His name originated from a comment by Tubby to Bunny Lee, with regard to his technical proficiency, "Damn, this little boy must be a scientist." He was taken on at Tubby's as an assistant, performing tasks such as winding transformer coils, and began working as a mixer in the mid-1970s, initially creating dubs of reworked Studio One tracks for Don Mais's Roots Tradition label, given his chance when Prince Jammy cut short a mixing session for Mais because he was too tired to continue. While at the studio, Scientist asked Tubby to give him a chance at mixing. He began building his own amplifiers and would buy transformers from Tubby's Dromilly Road studio. Scientist was introduced to electronics by his father, who worked as a television and radio repair technician. The 1970s: King Tubby's, Channel One, and Studio One s: King Tubby's, Channel One, and Studio One.
