Damian Marley
Damian Marley
Rolling Stone named Damian Marley one of the '10 Artists to Watch.' He's the youngest son of reggae icon Bob Marley and was only two when his father died. Marley formed his first band at age 13. By '94, he was working on a solo project, with the help of his father's label. His musical gift is "deejaying,' the Jamaican style of "rap,' and his music reflects both his beliefs and the Rastafarian guiding principles. Marley's new CD, "Welcome To Jamrock," is the follow-up to his Grammy-winning "Halfway Tree."
