Damian Marley Biography

Damian Marley was born on July 21, 1978 in Kingston, Jamaica. He is the youngest son of reggae legend Bob Marley and Cindy Breakspeare, a Jamaican jazz singer and crowned Miss World 1976. Like several of Bob Marleyâs children, Damian was born out of wedlock and outside of Bobâs marriage to singer Rita Marley. [1] [2]

He was named after the character Damien Thorn from the movie The Omen, which his father watched shortly before his birth. However, Bob later regretted this choice and wanted to change his son's name to something more positive. He settled on Robert Nesta Jr., after his own middle name, but Damian kept his original name as well. [3] [4]

Damian grew up in a musical environment, surrounded by his siblings and half-siblings who were also involved in music. He was especially close to his brother Stephen Marley, who became his mentor and producer. He also inherited his father's passion for social justice and Rastafarian faith. [5] [6]

Damian Marley Musical Career

Damian Marley started his musical career at the age of 13, when he formed a group called The Shephards with the daughter of Freddie McGregor and the son of Third World's Cat Coore. The group performed at the 1992 Reggae Sunsplash festival, but soon disbanded. [7] [8]

He then embarked on a solo career, with the backing of his father's label Tuff Gong. He released his debut album Mr. Marley in 1996, which surprised many who were not used to hearing a Marley deejaying rather than singing. The album featured a mix of reggae, dancehall and hip hop influences, and showcased Damian's lyrical skills and social commentary. [9] [10]

His second album Halfway Tree came out in 2001 and won him his first Grammy Award for Best Reggae Album.
