In 2005 they began recording and producing music in Kingston, releasing singles like “Babylon Crumbling”, “Dancehall Vibes” with the Tamlins, “Balance & Level” featuring Fanton Mojah, “No More Killing” featuring Sizzla Kalonji, “Freedom of Speech” with Turbulence, and were featured on “Weh Dem a Try” by Vybz Kartel. In 2008 the singers began collaborating with musicians from the Manning family, sons of Donald Manning of the Abyssinians. They formed the label, Family House Music and began recording material for their first album. After being chosen from the highly competitive, island-wide talent search, known as the Art of Music Initiative at the Decks in Kingston, they performed at the Air Jamaica Jazz and Blues Fest 2008 in Montego Bay. They have also performed at Spring Break in Negril, in 2007 and 2008. In June and July of 2009 they toured the US with Etana and the Abyssinians. The tour included over 20 club dates and appearances at Sierra Nevada World Music Festival and Reggae on the River in Northern California. In August they performed at Beenieman Sizzle at the National Stadium in Kingston in front of a crowd of 15,000. A few days later Roots Revealers appeared as guests and sang live on Hype TV’s “Up and Live” and during the same week shot the video for “Sweetie Come Brush Me” featuring Chaka Demus, directed by Nordia Rose and with special appearance by Carl Bradshaw. This track will be the first single from their album, “Sweet Jamaica” set for release later this year. “Texas-born siblings Roots Revealers have managed to...create a unique sound, which has been creating a stir in the reggae music industry world-wide…their debut album, Sweet Jamaica…shows their versatility and deep rooted knowledge of the reggae genre.” -Chat Magazine 08-11-2009 Kingston, JA “The white group Roots Revealers of Texas, USA showed true class…” -X News 03-28-2008 Kingston, JA “American brothers Roots Revealers were among those who shined bright during their time in the spotlight…” -The Star TASHIEKA MAIR, STAR WRITER
