He established the Big Ship label in 1983, and has produced many artists including Papa San, Lieutenant Stitchie, Tiger, Luciano and Mikey Spice.
In a 2011 interview, McGregor expressed concern that many veteran artists, including himself, struggled for local radio play of their newer material, which he felt might be "lost" over time as a result.
