“RasRoots” was born on the island of St.kitts, and grew up in a small village called Trafalga. Being brought up in a christian household made him realized that’s not the path in life he wanted to take. Growing up in St.kitts and attending junior high school he realize that nothing was going to happen for him unless he make it happen. At the age of 15 he moved to NewYork with sister to live with his mother, where he started reading about His Imperial Majesty, Rasta and Marcus Masiah Garvey and decided that this is the rightful path to life. In 1999 he graduated from parkwest high school in newyork. After a few months of being out of school he wanted to further his education in computer networking, so in 2000 he attended the New England Institute of Technology in Rhode Island. While attending college he met a bredren from the island of st.martin by the name of “Ras Ashandi” who let him listen to the liquid riddim and told him to voice tune for him. After voicing the tune he told rasroots he had a gift and should pursue a music career. so he took the advice and started writing music more, performing at local clubs, and sparing with rasta bredren “Ital-fire” where the passion for music grew more. As a rastaman I stick to my scriptures and true to rastafari teachings which is where my inspiration, love and the ability to speak the words come from. “ never let your knowledge go unheard, if you have something to say let it be heard”. “ words powers and sounds, from that you hold your ground”.
