BIOGRAPHY:
Eric Smith & Mighty Roots is indeed One of the Most talented, riveting, Hard hitting Reggae band.
Since Bob Marley & Peter Tosh had passed. Reggae Music has lost its focus on the issues of the poor masses, and giving a voice to struggle and hope by spreading the message.
Eric Smith has revisited and reclaim the sound and message of True Reggae Music.
Eric Smith & Mighty Roots is a true musical treat for any Reggae promoter. Eric voice is crystal clear and unique as is his style of music.
Eric Smith & Mighty Roots worked with musicians from Studio One. A Must have for any Reggae fans Worldwide.
Eric Smith was born in the parish of St.Andrew, Jamaica. Eric grew up with his mother, Lisa cox, in a working class community known as Pepine, near the island’s capital, Kingston. He credits his mother as well as his cousin and her husband, May and William Badroo, for many of his early moral teachings.
As a youth, Eric witnessed the social and economical inequalities associated with ghetto life in Kingston.
These are the experiences that fuel the powerful and civil minded commentaries which permeate Eric’s music. He looks to the teachings of Marcus Garvey, Malcolm X, Martin Luther King Jr., Gandhi and Nelson and Winnie Mandela for political inspiration.
Eric has chosen music as his medium to voice ghetto people’s life-long struggle for equal rights and justice. He sends a message of change to expose the decaying morality that is infecting and corrupting both the youth and contemporary society on a whole.
Eric gets his spiritual strength from the Almighty, Jah Rastafari, in whom he rests his unbending faith and conviction.
He formed his Band 'Eric Smith & Mighty Roots' in 2006.
