Although early releases were not big sellers among reggae buyers, the mid-1980s saw this change with releases from Sandra Cross ( Country Life), Johnny Clarke, Peter Culture, Pato Banton, and Macka B ( Sign of the Times). Fraser's Dub Me Crazy series of albums won the support of John Peel, who regularly aired tracks from the albums. He began recording lovers rock bands and vocalists for his own label (including the debut recording by Deborahe Glasgow) and recorded his first album after moving the studio to a new location in Peckham in 1982, equipped with an eight-track setup, later expanding to sixteen.
He gradually collected recording and mixing equipment and in 1979 opened his own four-track recording studio, Ariwa Sounds, in the living room of his home in Thornton Heath.
He emigrated from Guyana to London at the age of 13 and later began his music career as a service technician. Fraser became known as Mad Professor as a boy due to his fascination with electronics.
