BIOGRAPHIES: (courtesy of John Bush and David Jeffries at allmusic.com)
DAMIAN MARLEY was only two when his father died, but the youngest of the Marley sons had music deeply imprinted in his DNA. At the age of 13, he formed his first band, the Shepherds, which also included the son of Third World's Cat Coore and the daughter of Freddie McGregor; the group even opened up the 1992 Reggae Sunsplash festival. His debut solo release, School Controversy, faltered, although his lineage led to the track being featured on Epic Records' Positively Reggae: An All Family Musical Celebration. In 1993, performing as Damian "Junior Gong" Marley, he toured alongside Shabba Ranks on the ragga DJ's World Unity Concert. In 1995, the Marley genealogy led to a partnership with Julian Marley, who joined him at performances on the Reggae Sunsplash and Sumfest festivals. The success of their performance led to an international tour supporting Ziggy Marley & the Melody Makers that covered South, Central, and North America and culminated in the Marley Magic: A Marley Family Reunion in New York's Central Park.Thanks to his success as a live performer, Tuff Gong subsidiary Ghetto Youths International signed him and in 1996, released his first solo album, Mr. Marley. The sessions were co-produced by his brother Stephen and featured Damian's unique dancehall-meets-hip-hop DJ style.

His next album, 2001's Halfway Tree, earned a Grammy nomination, but the public generally overlooked the ambitious effort. Not so for the reggae-meets-hip-hop single "Welcome to Jamrock," which became an urban phenomenon soon after its summer 2005 release. Street-level mixtapes began featuring it, radio couldn't get enough of it, and remixes -- both legal and not so legal -- began appearing at a fast pace. The well-rounded album Welcome to Jamrock delivered on the promise of the single that same year, reaching the Top Ten and eventually winning a Best Reggae album Grammy. It featured a wide range of guests, from Bobby Brown to Bunny Wailer, as it blended hip-hop, classic reggae, dancehall, and modern R&B.

In 2010, he teamed with Nas on the Africa-themed album Distant Relatives, that made even more clear Marley's link to the hip-hop community. The next few years found Marley back as a featured player on albums by Bruno Mars, Joss Stone, Sean Paul, and Shaggy, and releasing a single with Skrillex in 2012, all while touring and working on a new album. The long-awaited Stony Hill, which featured the Stephen Marley-assisted single "Medication," was issued by Island Records in 2017, the same year he guested on Jay Z's 4:44 album. April 2018 saw the release of a remixed version of "Medication" featuring Wiz Khalifa and Ty Dolla $ign.

STEPHEN MARLEY is reggae royalty, both as the second son of Bob and Rita Marley, and with a voice of his own that continues the rootsy songwriting power of his bloodline. He played a somewhat behind the scenes role in music for many years, acting as a part of the Melody Makers and as a producer for other artists before releasing his first solo album, 2007's Mind Control. Marley's solo efforts kept a baseline of traditional roots reggae, but also incorporated elements of hip hop and dancehall, and he brought in contributions from rock and jam band legends Jack Johnson and the Grateful Dead's Bob Weir on the 2023 album Old Soul.To satisfy his creative interests outside the group, Stephen decided to become familiar with the music industry from behind the scenes. Production work began in 1996 with Stephen contributing ideas to albums by his brothers Damian and Julian. Remixing the Fugees the same year was the first public display of Stephen's love of hip-hop and R&B. Work with Eve, Krayzie Bone, and Erykah Badu would follow along with a new role as "executive producer" of the Bob Marley remix compilation Chant Down Babylon, released in 1999. In 2001, his production work for brother Damian's Halfway Tree helped win the Grammy for Best Reggae Album, while Stephen's version of "Master Blaster" landed on the Stevie Wonder tribute Conception the same year.
