__________At a very early age, Roots was exposed to the scenes of dancehall or sessions. He remembers his mother taking him and his siblings to the neighborhood sessions--which is where he saw poor ghetto people come together for one common cause, forget your troubles and dance.

__________At age ten, Roots moved from Jamaica to the United States for family reasons. Roots started gaining interest in music after seeing Shabba Ranks' "Trail A Load A Girls" video. He finally saw a way to keep his culture which he was so now far away from.
