The who’s who of dancehall know who TJ is in the Caribbean island of Jamaica. He has produced hits for Movado, Beenie Man, Bounty Killer and the hottest new sensations to dancehall Serani and Bugle.

It would not be fair game to even put a label on Linton “TJ” White…… If you called him a music producer, you’d be right and if you called him a promoter, you’d also be right on the money because he is the organizer of the globe trotting party BEMBE, but then you would also have to add CEO of TJ Records and entrepreneur to the list. The only way to describe “TJ” is as a visionary whose exciting interests, enviable music skills and keen insight makes him a person who is constantly sought after when it comes to making creative projects a success.

Although TJ’s name was not readily familiar at the time, his work was: the 2005 hit riddim Bill Back created a true rhythmical chaos on Caribbean airwaves as well as overseas pirate stations and BBC ‘s 1 Xtra. Not only did “Bill Back” propel TJ’s career, it also pushed artists like Aidonia and Mavado with their tracks “Bukham” and “Bawl dem ah Bawl”, Sizzla also saw his bill back experience with his track Head Out.

However without a moments rest TJ was back in the studio producing another show stopper. Months and months after tweaking and fine tuning the industry finally caught wind of the “Show Off” riddim in 2006. Unlike its predecessor “Show Off” caught on much much faster with its heavy baseline and catchy intro’s and lets not forget it housed one of the biggest lyrical counteractions in dancehall, the exciting lyrical thrashing found in the songs “Bullet proof ski”n from Bounty Killer and “Bullet proof vest” from Beenie Man, this definitely rehashed the on going lyrical feud between them both which spans over 10 years. Show off also gave birth to Mavado’s first single “Last Night” for his album Gangster for Life: The Symphony of David Brooks.

For TJ, his business was unfinished. Back again with So Special by Movado, No Games by Serani and Wine Gyal by Beenie Man as lead out singles, “Unfinished Business” rules as the #1 dancehall riddim for 2008.

Still keeping a cool head that characterizes him, TJ teams up with his brothers from the Daseca family and Tetimus for the HIGHY ANTICIPATED Beauty and the Beast Riddim – celebrating his earthstrong with the official release of the riddim with cuts featuring Movado, Kartel, Serani, Bugle, Wayne Wondah, Mr. Vegas and newcomers to dancehall J Status (SRP) and Shermain.

TJ’s sense of the music business provides a strong foundation for his success. He concentrates his keen eye on the voids in the music and continues to fill them. He tries not to be like everyone else when asked he says “I follow my own path and instinct”.

TJ does not confine himself to the talents of just the popular acts but branches out everyday looking for fresh talent. Clearly his strong sense of business has taken him on a long journey in a short period of time. But at the same time, he is seeking to expand his entrepreneurial spirit into areas beyond the recording studio.
