Rebel Dawtas Sound System is an all female DJ group spinning Roots &Culture Reggae music.Created in 2008 by CEO Empress Donna Rootsie, Rebel Dawtas’ mission is staying true the original format of Jamaican Sound Systems by playing strictly vinyl. In a male dominated industry, four powerful women, Rootsie, Blackempress368, Zion Rose & Kiyah have traveled around the world condemning injustice and ins
piring thoughts of consciousness through music. Rootsie, the main selectress and mic person of Rebel Dawtas, was born into a musical household where her mother was an amateur DJ, and her father had a sweet sound system in the home. At the age of 12, Rootsie received her first record player, and started tagging along with her father buying records at iconic shops like, Super Power, and Witty’s. Fast forward to the year 2001 where Rootsie started an all female sound with friends and later decided to form her own sound system known today as Rebel Dawtas. Rootsie is best known for her hard hitting musical line-ups and her clever style of “Toasting” on the mic.
