Both as the leader of and later as a solo artist, Ziggy Marley asserted his individual role as a reggae star, honoring the socially conscious values of his family's legacy while securing his own space in global music and culture. As the oldest son of reggae legend and his wife , he was the natural heir to the throne left vacant by his father's untimely death in 1981. Beginning in the late '80s, Marley and his younger siblings helped infuse reggae with heavy doses of vibrant pop, breaking through with their Grammy-winning 1988 masterpiece, the and -produced Conscious Party, which yielded the Top 40 hit "Tomorrow People" and was followed a year later by their biggest commercial success and second Grammy winner, One Bright Day. Following a string of highly regarded albums in the '90s -- including the acclaimed Fallen Is Babylon -- Marley launched a successful second act as solo artist, reaching another career high with both 2006's Love Is My Religion and 2013's Fly Rasta (another Grammy winner), which featured reunion appearances from . Following in his father's footsteps as a political voice and philanthropist, he later created the children's health and education charity U.R.G.E., and he has also written music for or appeared in numerous television shows, from Sesame Street to Hawaii Five-O.
Born David Nesta Marley in Kingston, Jamaica on October 17, 1968, Ziggy Marley received guitar and drum lessons from his father, and began sitting in on recording sessions at the age of ten. In 1979, Ziggy, his sister Cedella, brother , and half-sister Sharon all joined in the studio to record the single "Children Playing in the Streets." Christened , the four siblings continued playing together at family events, and even performed at their father's state funeral. Marley was not even 17 when he and issued their debut LP, Play the Game Right. The burdens of becoming a second-generation star weighed heavily on the young singer -- who looked and sounded almost eerily like his father -- and he allowed the record and its 1986 follow-up, Hey World!, to veer closely toward pop music, resulting in derision from reggae purists.
Poor sales, combined with 's public desire to market Ziggy as a solo act, prompted to jump to the label, where they entered the studio to record their masterpiece, 1988's Conscious Party. Produced by ' and , the album was both a critical and commercial smash, with the single "Tomorrow People" reaching number 39 on the pop charts. The follow-up, 1989's One Bright Day, continued ' artistic growth; it was also their best-selling effort to date, cracking the Top 20 and, like its predecessor, winning a Grammy. returned in 1991 with Jahmekya, another assured and creative effort. It sold well, edging into the Top 20, but failed to generate as much radio or video airplay as its predecessors. Released in 1993, Joy and Blues barely charted, despite adding elements of contemporary dancehall (a showcase for 's rapping skills). The latter record was ' last release for , and they moved to for 1995's Free Like We Want 2 B.
Like his father, Marley eventually emerged as a political voice, and was named a Goodwill Youth Ambassador for the United Nations; at home in Kingston, he also founded his own record label, , created to spotlight the next generation of reggae talent. In conjunction with , he used his new label to release ' next album, 1997's Fallen Is Babylon, which returned them to the spotlight via the hit "People Get Ready," earning them another Grammy in the process. The 1999 album Spirit of Music and subsequent concert release Live, Vol. 1 would prove to be ' final two releases as a band.
Without his siblings behind him, Dragonfly was released as Marley's first official solo album in 2003, but its 2006 follow-up, Love Is My Religion, proved to be more commercially viable, as the album's title track put Ziggy back on reggae radio throughout the globe. His 2009 effort, Family Time, was a charming children's album, while 2011's Wild and Free returned to the socially conscious reggae that launched his career. In 2012, he released his first comic book featuring the hero Marijuanaman, and followed it in 2013 with the live album In Concert. The diverse Fly Rasta followed a year later and featured a reunion thanks to guest appearances from Erica Newell plus Sharon and Cedella Marley. The album won Best Reggae Album at the 57th Grammy Awards. In 2016 he returned with his sixth solo -- but first self-titled -- album, which featured the single "Weekend's Long." Returning in 2018, Marley's self-produced seventh album, Rebellion Rises, was directed toward themes of activism and social change. ~ Jason Ankeny, Rovi
