Our second episode of the year features the legendary Chris Blackwell. The founder of Island Records – one of the greatest independent record labels in musical history – Blackwell guided the careers of artists such as Bob Marley, U2, Cat Stevens, Salif Keita, Melissa Etheridge, and many more. Inducted to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2001, he is credited with introducing the world to reggae music.

Not only is he one of the most influential figures of the British music industry, Chris Blackwell is also a highly successful entrepreneur and businessman with a keen eye for real estate ventures. He owns the Island Outpost, a collection of Jamaican hotels and villas which includes the former home of James Bond author Ian Fleming, The GoldenEye.
