DAMIAN MARLEY CREATING HIS OWN LEGACY

Damian Marley is the youngest son of reggae icon, Bob Marley, and the budding star not only had to overcome his dad’s musical accomplishments but that of his siblings Ziggy, Kymani, and Stephen Marley. Damian won a Grammy Award for his 2001 set, Halfway Tree, but this year’s Grammy Awards were his real coming out party. He not only won his second best reggae album Grammy, he also won the Grammy Award for best urban alternative performance.

While Marley definitely wants to create his own legacy he does understand the benefits of his famous last name. He said,

“Well I look at it as a positive, you know what I mean, because as for me, people who don’t know my music personally might just see my name and check it out because of that youknow what I mean? So I always look at it as a positive, you know?”

Damian Marley is still promoting his gold certified album, Welcome To Jamrock. The latest single from the project is “Road To Zion” featuring Nas. The set also features guest spots from Stephen Marley, Black Thought, and Bobby Brown.
