Roots Grown Deep is a cross-continental 'beyond genre' musical and educational ensemble curating a soundscape called Musical Ecology, supported by a wider family leading regenerative projects. We are composed and guided by the relational forces of ecology, humanity and divinity. We are a life-art movement and mobile educational-healing node harmonizing the diverse voices of many disciplines, languages, cultures and personalities into a truthful, soul-illuminating sound. Our members are from numerous earthly tribes and cosmic origin, singing together in a plethora of languages, tones and personalities.

"They take us beyond blood and bone, beyond memory and fear, to a place where everything is 'no thing' made of a single substance. This music moves me deeply to respond with some kind of service. I would like people to meet this in themselves and find their own inner instruments."
(reflections by Jezebel, music journalist from Cape Town. South Africa)
