About

Ov&o Brown

Blue Mountain roots, dual-citizen of music and tech. The work came first. The theory caught up after.

With 20+ years as a songwriter, 16+ as a producer, and a deep stack in software development and Management Information Systems, I bridge the gap between Jamaican culture and code. As the founder of MindWave JA and Hammazone Records, I ship end-to-end AI tools for Caribbean creators, backed by a track record of 20+ live artist sites and 9+ apps in production.

We build systems because a system built us. The question I keep returning to: how do I build something that survives thinking like me? That's the work — in every form it takes. My aim is to build a humanoid robot that thinks just like me, but better — for my son Alejandro. So he can build one for his son or daughter. So my grandchildren can have humanoid robots to help them traverse these Kingston streets.
