About Me

Recording Artist, Bum Roots was born Delgado Bogle in 1978, Kingston 11, Jamaica. His mother is Claudia Higgs, father Desmond Bogle, sister Nikiki and brother Michael Bogle. Grandson of "Father Of Reggae Music," JOE HIGGS, and also the Great Great Great Grandnephew of Jamaica's National Hero PAUL BOGLE. He attended Balmagie Primary School located in Waterhouse. ____________________________________________________________ __________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. ____________________________________________________________ __________Marcia Higgs, one of the first female DJs in Jamaica and one of the best of her time, was his first musical inspiration, mentor and also his favorite aunt. After Marcia brought Roots to L.A. in the summer of 1993, she placed him in the Raw Entertainment Talent Show in south central L.A. Roots took first place prize that night and a star was born. ____________________________________________________________ __________In 1995, he would win the Best DJ Contest in Tampa, Florida sponsored by Poison Dart and Purple Man Promotion. Since those times he has been doing gigs big and small. In 1999 after the birth of his first son, Paul Marcus Bogle, Roots took the backseat to handle his fatherly business. ____________________________________________________________ __________Currently Roots' new single, "Hustle Fah Sure" under Triple Threat Records is making alot of noise on the airwaves all over Jamaica. I Righteous, who is Roots' older brother new single, "Love Letter" under Fams House label is blazing a big fire in the world. ____________________________________________________________ __________No more waiting on people to tell us every man controls his own destiny. To take it to di world A!
