With inspiration and encouragement from his father, Toots began singing on stage at a young age and traveling to his father’s shows. Having the essence of Jamaica, a strong love for Jah and the

Rastafarian culture, Toots embodies his life-learnings in both his

recorded music and live shows.

“I aim to continue spreading peace among people of all creeds,religions and color through my music and philanthropic missions. After witnessing so much violence in my homeland, I vowed at an early age to promote goodness, fairness and equality in all I do and with those I am blessed to work with. It’s what drives the music I write and present to the world,”…… Junior Toots
