Dynamic Sounds was a Jamaican recording studio owned and operated by Byron Lee. Byron Lee purchased the West Indies Records Limited (WIRL) recording studios from Edward Seaga after fire had destroyed the pressing plant on the same site, and renamed it Dynamic Sounds, soon having a new pressing facility built on the site. It became one of the best-equipped studios in the Caribbean, attracting both local and international recording artists, including Paul Simon and The Rolling Stones. Lee's productions included Boris Gardiner's "Reggae Happening", Hopeton Lewis's "Grooving Out on Life", and The Slickers' "Johnny Too Bad". Dynamic also acts as one of Jamaica's leading record distributors.

Trivia
