Roots Studio acts as a booking agent & artist promoter in the UK working alongside artists whose talents we firmly believe in. It is our aim to further the artist within the music industry breaking barriers, in order reggae music can be heard by all & not by some. So here follows our biography put in as few words as possible - to enable you to take in the other information on this website!

Roots Studio started in November 2001 as a weekly event for reggae lovers in the bar of a well-known commercial recording studio – The Strongroom Studios in East London – hence the name Roots Studio. This night became a very successful event during which many people came to meet up - those already working within the music industry and those who came to enjoy a night out with friends. For over 2 years we regularly promoted the night and the Strongroom bar in the London area, meeting up with many good people along the way. This networking led us to expand and showcase the artists and DJ's we worked alongside, whose information can be found under the 'Roots Studio Sessions" pages. However, things may have come to an untimely end when the management structure at the Strongroom Bar was changed and therefore the 3 year run of holding the Roots Studio events came to an end for the weekly Thursday night session.

To enable the promotions to move forwards, decisions had to be made and with the help of the Roots Studio crew and supporters, events were then held at different venues within the Shoreditch/Hoxton area and the night was given a new lease of life. We went on to promote the artists and sound systems that we worked alongside at larger & more versatile venues – Cargo in Shoreditch & The Concorde in Brighton - as well as networking with promoters in other parts of the UK and Europe. However, event promotion was put on hold due to unforeseen circumstances that unfolded in late 2007, time was taken out to re-evaluate the promotions and many changes were made.

Roots Studio works alongside well-known artists within the reggae industry as well as emerging talent and to date we regularly travel within the UK & Europe to promote the talents of the artists we work with - whose information can be found under the 'Artist/Sound Systems' page.
