Ziggy Marley

While Ziggy Marley might have
made a name for himself in the
genre of reggae music, the
truth is that he will always
remain under the scrutiny of
reggae fans everywhere, as his
father’s reputation will
always precede him no matter
what he does.

Yes, Ziggy is the son of Bob
Marley, and there was no doubt
that he would follow his
father’s footsteps as he
began his career in music
(along with his siblings) with
their recording debut with Bob
Marley for “Children Playing
in the Streets”.

With the passing of his
father, the band Ziggy Marley
& the Melody Makers performed
at the funeral, and shortly
released their debut LP,
“Play the game right”.
Despite not being received
very well by the critics, a
record label change and a few
albums later such as Conscious
Party, One Bright Day and
Jahmekya were both
commercially and critically
successful.

While the group was successful
in the 1980s, albums such as
“Joy and Blues” and
“Free Like We Want 2 B”
weren’t received very well.
Yet some of his most popular
singles such as “Tomorrow
People”, “People Get
Ready” and “True to
Myself” are considered
classics even till today.

The New Millenium saw Ziggy
taking a musical direction of
a solo nature, and he released
two albums “Dragonfly” and
“Love is my Religion” of
which the latter, got him a
Grammy Award for “Best
Reggae Album”.

And apart from his
contribution to music, Ziggy
has also opted to become
politically active by working
with the United Nations while
also in recent times, released
his third solo album known as
“Family Times”.
