Which Jamaican record label was founded by Clement 'Coxsone' Dodd?

The Jamaican record label founded by Clement “Coxsone” Dodd is Studio One.

Dodd established Studio One in Kingston in 1963, after building experience as a sound-system operator and producer. The label and its recording studio became one of the central institutions in Jamaican popular music, earning comparisons to Motown for its importance in developing local talent and creating a recognizable house sound.

Studio One was deeply involved in the transition from ska to rocksteady and reggae. Artists associated with its recordings include Bob Marley and the Wailers, the Skatalites, Burning Spear, Horace Andy, Delroy Wilson, and Sugar Minott. Dodd also held regular auditions, helping young singers and musicians enter Jamaica’s recording industry.

The date can cause confusion: Studio One is commonly described as founded in 1954 as a label, while the Brentford Road studio and its first recordings date from the early 1960s. The other options were important labels too—Island Records was founded by Chris Blackwell, Tuff Gong was associated with Bob Marley, and Treasure Isle with Duke Reid—but none was founded by Dodd.
