In 1984 I teamed up with my two brothers the late Pupa Davis and Rev Didah and  started a sound called it Dread Brothers Promotions.They started doing small gigs at the Garden Square until I finally left Roots Inity Promotion in 1985. We then started doing our gigs in a big scale playing around Clubs like Chiromo and Alliance Club. In the summer of 1985, Ras Ken Ambasu and Daddy Chosh joined the sound.

I left for Germany in 1985 and worked for a year. In  1986 and went to Denmark and bought my first music equipment and went back to Kenya. It was very easy for us to go mobile playing around the country because we had our own Sound System which was the first one in Kenya. I visited Shashamane land in Ethiopia as a member of the twelve tribes of Israel and met Dennis Brown. That is when I decided to change the name of the sound to Shashamane International..

In 1987 I organized the first sound and Dj clash at the City Hall in Nairobi including one from Birmingham England with a brother called Teflah. That is when I met Terrence Munene and since he was the youngest and the baddest of them all in the competition, I gave him the name of Youthman Terry and added him on the sound right away.
We Started playing at Hollywood Club and in late 1987 I went back to England where I met Dennis Brown again and he did my first Dubplate for the sound, a song called country living. In 1990 I went To New York  and settled in Harlem. Back home, we moved from Hollywood Club to Monte Club. And Daddy Freddy, King Monday, MC Fanya, MC Frank, Daddy Augustinoh, Ras Panyaley, Oga Sura Mbaya, Dj. Sweta and MC Juce joined the sound.

In New York City I opened up a store on 125 street and St. Nicholas Avenue. And hooked up with some youths from the neighborhood who used to frequent my store and hear me play loud Reggae music on the street. Their names were James Bond, Little Fox, Six Killer and Danger One. And our manager was Sister Dorsey who was our manager. 

The current members of the sound are Ringo, Short Boss, Dj. 4eign, Dj. Murphy, Dj. Bugs, Dj Priest, Jahmo, Albinorock, Daddy Chosh, Dj. Augostinoh, Toni Dread, Rev Didah, Dj. Chevy, Prince Otachh and Ranking Charlie.

I am Cool-Roots aka Cool-Rudy/ Singer, songwriter, dancer out right entertainer. "If you know not Love you know not God, cause god is l Love" I am a part of "Love and Light", "Sunshine In Your face". I have a unique style, being that I come from the original days of when Hip-Hop began I appreciate breaks and EDM more than anyone can imagine. I watched how it was all Hip-Hop at one time and then mans plan to divide and conquer through making a difference between the culture. I stayed with what I have a passion for and that's good music that has good lyrics and beats to dance to. I MC'd for DNB band D'void at 2015's Earth Dance Being that I have a Caribbean background I flow to the beats with A REGGAE chatting style over those 808 banging beats, DNB, Electric beats etc. as well as an old school MC style of rap, then taking it to singing some free-style over them as well. I love all people even those that don't love me. I plan to help keep the scene alive and kicking.  I will be adding more tracks and I am open to perform any where invited. I consider myself and entertainer, as it is my purpose in life to bring smiles on faces and positive energy to all, bridging the gap between races, religions music genres etc. Peace, Love, Unity Respect... May God Bless you all. Thanks for stopping by your boy COOL-ROOTS.
