A five-time Grammy-winning musician, actor, artist, activist and humanitarian, Ziggy Marley has established his presence on the public stage for over a quarter-century. A native of Kingston, Jamaica, Ziggy Marley and his siblings first sat in on recording sessions with his father’s band, the legendary Bob Marley and the Wailers, when he was ten years old. Later, Ziggy joined with his sisters Sharon and Cedella and brother Stephen to become Ziggy Marley & The Melody Makers, allowing him to craft his own soulful sound which blends blues, R&B, hip-hop and roots reggae. His debut solo album, Dragonfly was followed by Love Is My Religion, a Grammy winner that further explored personal, social and political themes amid a fragrant mix of roots reggae, traditional rock ‘n roll, African percussion and other varied musical elements. Recently, Ziggy won his fifth Grammy Award, in the category “Best Musical Album for Children,” for Family Time, a collection of reggae-inflected, family-oriented songs. His most recent studio album, Wild and Free, is a powerful one, as it propels him to challenge social injustice along with the political weapons of ignorance and fear. It may be Ziggy’smost political and personal to date. He has also recently released a live concert album.
