Ziggy Marley
The eldest son of Bob and Rita Marley, Ziggy Marley was twelve in 1981 when his father died at age 36. Taking on his family’s musical legacy, the younger Marley earned his first wide recognition with “True To Myself,” the lead single from his debut solo album, Dragonfly. He went on to win eight Grammy Awards and a Daytime Emmy, enjoying success as a solo artist and leading the family band Ziggy Marley and the Melody Makers until 2002, releasing eight albums with that group. His music blends reggae with blues, funk, and rock, and his lyrics explore themes of environmental awareness, social injustice, and self-empowerment.
