About the artist

With over Three Hundred songs already written and arranged, 30 year old, Ugandan born, TShakazBlackRoots is arguably reggae music's best kept secret.

Born Winston Mayanja, TShakazBlackRoots has made his mark in Africa, as a reggae singer, songwriter, and also as a promoter.

He has done countless Radio and TV interviews in Africa, including interviews on Channel 0(Africa's version of MTV on the biggest cable TV network in Africa), and also a live interview on Irie FM during the Sting Reggae festival Jamaica in 1996, with GT Taylor (top radio DJ in Jamaica) and Copeland Forbes (legendary Jamaican MC and road manager).

He has taken acts such as; Third World, Shaggy, Chaka Demus & Pliers, Shabba Ranks, Buju Banton, Aswad, Spanner Banner, Papa San, Brian & Tony Gold etc... to Africa for concerts, all in a bid to make reggae the force it is now, in Africa.

TShakazBlackRoots, who is still an unsigned artist, is an artist in the mould of his mentors; Bob Marley & the Wailers, Prince Lincoln & the Royal Rasses, Freddie McGregor, Dennis Brown, Third World, Burning Spear, Matumbi and other reggae icons. Teddy Pendergrass, Marvin Gaye, Freddie Jackson and other Blues & Soul icons are inspirations too.





His strength lies in his distinctive voice, his freestyle vibes, lyrical abilities and arrangements. The influence of the great old time reggae icons is very evident in his music. With his song writing skills, expect good reggae music by him in the near future.
