bollotens musical career began when he was living in edinburgh, scotland and taught himself to play guitar in 1978 at the age of 13 and formed his first punk band. After 3 concerts, he decided that being a guitarist in a band was not for him and he retired from that aspect of the music business. He moved to bradford at the age of 18 in 1983.[5] He worked for over two years in the local roots record shop, where he began to be known as ;rootsman;.

Starting off making roots reggae in 1985, he began to incorporate african, middle eastern, asian, trip hop and electronic dance music elements into his experimental dub music. In the mid-1990s, he started his own third eye label, and went on to work with artists such as muslimgauze, alex paterson, soulfly, junior delgado, and dub syndicate. Rootsman broadcast dub selections on various local radio stations from the late 80s to the mid nineties including bradford pirate stations paradise city radio (better known as pcr radio) and wklr, a selection of his vintage broadcasts from these stations uploaded to his official youtube channel, including exclusive special guest interviews with dub reggae legends such as the disciples from london
