"a legend, a teacher and a pioneer of reggae dancehall music in the UK and worldwide" - Julian Marley
Spanning an impressive 40+ year career in the music industry, Stick To My Roots charts Tippa Irie's incredible story - from his trailblazing beginnings in Saxon Sound International to the Grammy Award-nominated "Hey Mama" with the Black Eyed Peas.
Titled after his 2010 hit single, this autobiography moves from the first sign of talent in Irie as a child in Brixton, South London and family members encouraging him to enter local talent competitions, to making his first record, connecting to his roots home in Jamaica as well as the wider reggae legacy across the Caribbean and the African continent and becoming the powerhouse and Reggae-scene legend he is now.
It is a memoir full of dreams, music and hope, but also the deep traumas and tribulations that Tippa experienced throughout his life.
