The youngest son of Reggae legend Bob Marley, Damian "Jr. Gong" Marley garnered his own place in music history when he became the first ever Reggae artist to win a GRAMMY AWARD® outside of the Reggae category, taking home an award for Best Urban/Alternative performance for his title single, "Welcome To Jamrock." The acclaimed 2005 breakthrough disc Welcome To Jamrock, also won a GRAMMY AWARD® for Best Reggae Album, whilst the New York Times named it "the best reggae song of the decade." Marley has been shaking up stages all over the world for the past few years, first in conjunction with his Distant Relatives project where he teams up with Nas and brother Stephen Marley, and then when he went on to partner with Skrillex for their groundbreaking track "Make It Bun Dem", which Rolling Stone called "a monster mash up of dubstep and dancehall." Which went on to sell over 500,000 copies in the United States alone. Following the track's success, the reggae superstar released his fourth studio album, Stony Hill, resulting in his third GRAMMY AWARD® for Best Reggae Album. Marley is also working with his brothers Stephen and Julian under their Ghetto Youths International Label, to discover, develop and sign gifted artists - applying their musical talent and vast experience to create new and different styles of music. Recently, Marley released his fifth studio album The Kalling in September of 2022, which went on to win Best Reggae Album at the 65th Annual GRAMMY AWARDS®.
