Artist Biography Available in: Arise Roots is an American roots reggae band based out of Los Angeles, California. Their music is described as a "positive classic roots sound with a modern twist".
Arise Roots formed in 2010 on the streets of L.A. with one goal in mind: to create a new sound of "quality high grade roots reggae" with a modern feel that appeals to all walks of life without compromising traditional reggae music.
With Montoya on the drum kit, Rudy Covarrubias on bass, Todd Johnson on keys and harmonies, Arise Roots needed a soulful singer. Karim Israel was added on lead vocals when he answered Montoya's ad on Craigslist. A month later, lead guitarist, Robert Sotelo was added to the band.
On November 16, 2010, the band self-released their first EP titled, Lay Your Guns Down
