Bio
Rootwords is an award winning rap artist from Zambia.
Raised in Switzerland, Rootwords began singing at the age of 16. He studied international law but dropped out to pursue music in 2007. He released his first solo album in 2014.
Since winning the renowned M4 Music Urban Award, as well as multiple other accolades, the lyricist has become a favourite of Swiss music lovers and more - having graced the stages of many regional and international festivals with his live band The Block Notes; including Paleo Festival, Montreux Jazz Festival, Rototom Sunsplash, Reggae Sun Ska, and Selvamonos Festival.
In 2016, in an effort to support UNHCR in response to the refugee crisis, Rootwords teamed up with jazz composer John Aram and virtuoso Jacob Collier for a humanitarian collaboration with the intention of raising money and awareness to the cause, while sharing a message of hope through the music.
Rootwords released his second opus, Warning Signs on 23 March 2018.
