Early distributionJah Roots initially promoted itself with free record distribution to build a wider audience base and increase concert attendance.[2] Lead singer Josh Heinrichs is quoted in an interview as saying "Before MySpace... we were able to put our music up for free download online. We used to all go home and burn tons of copies of our albums off and give them away for free. We gave away thousands of CDs this way and it really made a huge difference in the attendance at our live shows and then when we were actually able to put out our first real album Crucial. Our fans were totally willing to help us out and throw down $10. They had already heard the music and liked it."[14] The band also mailed CDs to fans in Europe, Asia and South America.[2] Motion picture and television appearancesIn 2008, Jah Roots appeared in Off the Record, a documentary examining the American music industry.
