Keety Roots in one of the pioneers of the era later to be known as the rise of digital roots and dub in the UK. It was at the end of the 80´s when producers in the UK were beginning to use the digital style for producing roots and dub. A style that was previously used for mainly dancehall music. At that time the UK dub scene was a small underground movement, but the music that were produced laid the foundation of a style that now has spread widely across the globe.
Keety started his musical career playing the bass, later evolving to a multi musician and singer. While his early releases by now have achieved cult status, he continues to produce highly acclamied roots for his own label Black Legacy.
Check out Keety Roots doing an acoustic version of his song "Faith in Jah":
