Support

Rootfire is 100% funded by underwriting from a diverse group of individuals and businesses who want to support independent music and empower artists. Your support helps provide the infrastructure that enables artists to own their work and to make living. Every dollar you donate is stretched to its maximum potential to provide a vibrant platform that allows independent artists to shine. Contributions can be one-time or recurring. Donations of $250 or more are eligible for a charitable tax deduction.

Rootfire has several programs aimed at nurturing the communities around reggae music through education, tastemaking, and advocacy. Below is a list of on-going programs you can support today.

Rootfire Cooperative

Our label services arm, Rootfire Cooperative, operates on a shoestring budget to bring major label success to artists who previously had to give away ownership of their projects to achieve that success. The disruptive business model has been featured in Forbes, Billboard Magazine, and more.

Devin Morrison and Roger Rivas have a passion for sharing and discussing the Jamaican musical gems they have discovered during their years of collecting, touring, and recording. Each week they share a hand-selected deep cut “Tune Of The Week” and then host a special guest to talk all things Reggae. Weekly episodes air live on Youtube and Facebook and are available on all podcast platforms.
