Did you know? The eldest son of Bob and Rita Marley, Ziggy Marley, first sat in on recording sessions with his father’s band, the trailblazing Bob Marley and the Wailers, when he was 10 years old. Now, he is an eight-time Grammy winner, Emmy winner, musician, producer, activist, and humanitarian who has cultivated a legendary career for close to 40 years.

After two decades as the driving creative force behind Ziggy Marley and the Melody Makers, Marley’s first solo tour came in Summer 2002, joining such artists as Sheryl Crow, Train and O.A.R. The following year saw the release of his debut solo album, Dragonfly, followed by 2006’s Love Is My Religion, which garnered his fourth Grammy and his first as a solo artist. It also marked the first release on his self-owned record label, Tuff Gong Worldwide. Simultaneously, Marley was able to reclaim the rights to all his compositions and founded Ishti Music, his independent music publishing company.
