There was a time when his secular label was one of the largest music distributors in Jamaica, with the most popular stable of artists. For years, Danny and his brothers (which include Cleveland “Clevie” Brownie), were instrumental in either writing, producing or performing on virtually every major reggae hit out of the island.

Danny Browne’s 1997 hit album from Red Rat ‘Oh No…It’s Red Rat’ still remains one of the Greensleeves Records greatest selling albums to date. Main Street Productions now releases solely Gospel Music and has released recordings from reggae gospel artists such as Prodigal Son, DJ. Nicholas, Mr. Goddy Goddy, Chevelle Franklyn, Junior Tucker and many others. Mr. Browne has also produced tracks with former secular sensations-turned gospel artists;  Stitchie and Papa San and has re-established himself with the production of YOW Reggae Gospel compilation series.

Mr. Browne has also served as a Director of the Recording Industry Association of Jamaica (RIAJam) and is a member of the Jamaica Anti-Piracy Alliance Committee.

The Chairman has an impeccable record of serving on the JAMMS Board and has never missed a Board meeting since JAMMS began its operations in 2007.
