Damian and Stephen Marley
Damian “Jr. Gong” Marley is a multi-Grammy winning Jamaican musical luminary celebrated for his genre-defying tracks profound lyrical themes and philanthropic endeavors.
As the youngest son of Bob Marley Damian’s unique artistry fuses reggae with dancehall hip-hop R&B and rock resulting in a signature sound that resonates globally.
His impressive Grammy collection includes victories for “Halfway Tree” “Welcome to Jamrock” “Distant Relatives” (a collaborative masterpiece with Nas) and his socially conscious triumph “Stony Hill.”
Damian recently unveiled his rendition of George Harrison’s timeless classic “My Sweet Lord” which received accolades from George’s late wife Olivia Harrison along with the George Harrison Estate.
With an extensive social media following and millions of monthly Spotify listeners “Jr. Gong” not only reigns as a chart-topping musical virtuoso but also maintains his status as an influential reggae icon and a pivotal figure in the worldwide music arena.
Beginning his lifelong musical journey at the age of six Stephen shared some historic stages with his legendary father and toured the world with his brother Ziggy and sisters Cedella and Sharon The Melody Makers. The Tuff Gong instilled a strict work ethic and an awareness in all of his children that “music is way more than just music.”
Over the past 45 years Stephen has won no fewer than eight Grammy Awards—three with The Melody Makers three times as a solo artist and twice as a producer of his younger brother Damian Marley. Every one of his solo projects to date has topped the Billboard Reggae charts.
All of which is to say that Stephen Marley’s place in music history is already secure. He does not need to push the envelope defy expectations or let the whole world into his world. And yet that is just what he’s decided to do. “We got some new music coming your way” he says while performing his latest songs live. “Something for your soul. I think we need that.”
