How Did Ralph Sall Reggae Super Fan Become Reggae’s Secret Super-Producer?

An exclusive interview with the man bridging reggae legends and modern audiences

When we first met Ralph Sall during The Reggae Hour interview, one question kept echoing in my mind: What defines a “super-producer” in reggae today? As the conversation unfolded, it became clear — Sall has quietly navigated through film, pop, rock, and reggae to craft a legacy that transcends genre.

From Hollywood to Roots Reggae

Ralph Sall isn’t new to high-profile work. He’s worked as a music supervisor, record producer, composer, and songwriter. Some of his notable credits include the “Speed” soundtrack, where he oversaw and produced the main title song for the film. He’s produced soundtrack albums for films like Mean Girls, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Hamlet 2, Scooby-Doo, Nancy Drew, and The In-Laws. 

In reggae circles, his projects like The Mighty Rootsman and The Kingston Lions aim to bring unity, legacy, and fresh talent together. In his own words, he calls Kingston Lions the “Buena Vista Social Club of Reggae.”

> “I never lost the fan gene … I still follow music like I’m 12 years old.”

That kind of devotion shows in how deeply he respects reggae’s roots even while innovating its future.

Top Three Production Highlights

It’s rare to find a producer whose credits span both mainstream film and deep reggae. Here are three standout projects in Sall’s career:

1. “Speed” (1994) — As producer on the Speed soundtrack, he guided Billy Idol’s main title track and curated a thematic collection of songs about motion, travel, and energy. 

2. “Rollin’ With My Homies” (Clueless Soundtrack) — A song he co-wrote and produced (with Coolio) for the Clueless film, cementing his crossover appeal. 

3. “Rock Me Sexy Jesus” (Hamlet 2) — On Hamlet 2, Sall didn’t just supervise; he composed, produced, and performed music. He wrote and performed the song “Rock Me Sexy Jesus.” 

Beyond those, he’s produced tribute and compilation albums—Saturday Morning: Cartoons’ Greatest Hits was one of his early breakout compilation projects.
