ESTABLISHED IN 1996, BAY ROOT IS THE COLLECTIVE WORK FROM A FAMILY OF MUSIC MAKERS, DJ’S, AND MC’S. WE LOVE MAKING OUR OWN MUSIC. WE BELIEVE OUR SOUND IS TRULY OUR OWN. SINCE DAY 1, OVER A DECADE AGO, IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN ABOUT CREATING OUR OWN SOUND AND GIVING PEOPLE SOMETHING THEY DON’T HEAR EVERY DAY. EVERY FEW YEARS WE COMBINE OUR ART AND RELEASE IT TO THE WORLD. THESE ARE THE COLLECTIVE MUSICAL EFFORTS OF REY DUB, JUST KAUSE, GOMEZ BEATS, DJ ETHIK, JOEY GOLAW, STURDY KNUCKLES AND OUR FAMILY OF FELLOW ARTISANS AND COLLABORATORS THAT WE CALL KIN FOLK, BAY ROOT FAMILY: INSANE MIDDLE EASTERN, LEFTY ROSE, ELEMENT, RAW, UNDIVIDED, DORM ROOM MUZIK AND MORE.

WE WOULD LIKE TO THANK OUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY, FELLOW ARTISANS, AND SUPPORTERS. YOU ARE THE DRIVING FORCE BEHIND THIS CREATIVITY. WHO BETTER THAN A FAN OF OUR MUSIC TO DESCRIBE OUR SOUND.

“HI, JUST HAVE TO SAY.. BAYROOT YOU HAVE THE BEST MUSIC IVE EVER LISTENED TO. SCIENTISTS SAY THAT CLASSICAL MUSIC STIMULATES THE FRONTAL LOBE OF THE BRAIN, WHICH IN TURN ENHANCES LEARNING AND COGNITIVE CAPABILITY. IF MOZZART CAN HAVE THIS EFFECT ON ITS LISTENERS.. I AM POSITIVE THAT BAY ROOT IS NOT ONLY MAKING ITS LISTENERS MORE AWARE THROUGH ITS BRILLIANT LYRICS, BUT ALSO THE BEAT IN GENERAL STIMULATES THE BRAIN. I OFTEN NEED SOMETHING TO GET ME FOCUSED AND CONCENTRATED ON MY UNIVERSITY PAPERS. BAY ROOT IS A GREAT TOOL FOR ME TO ACHEIVE THIS. AS THE BAY ROOT GUYS WOULD SAY”.. “GO THROUGH A LOOKING-GLASS INTO ANOTHER KIND OF PERCEPTION, WHERE YOU HAVE THAT SENSE OF BEING UNITED TO ALL THINGS, AND SUDDENLY, YOU UNDERSTAND EVERYTHING.”
