CKLN Presents
Ziggy Marley
R.E.M.G. presents the oldest son of reggae legend Bob Marley, Ziggy Marley.
A native of Kingston, Jamaica, Ziggy first sat in on recording sessions with his father when he was ten years old. Joining with his three siblings to become The Melody Makers, Ziggy crafted his own soulful sound blending blues, R&B, hip-hop and reggae.
After two decades as the driving creative force behind The Melody Makers - a triple Grammy-winning act which included brother Stephen and sisters Sharon and Cedella, Ziggy released his debut solo album in 2003, Dragonfly, which featured such guest artists as Flea and John Frusciante (Red Hot Chili Peppers), Mike Einziger and DJ Kilmore (Incubus). He has contributed to a variety of soundtracks including 50 First Dates and Shark's Tale, in which he delved into acting for the first time, playing the character of Bernie, the Jamaican jellyfish.
Ziggy Marley has just released his second solo album, Love is My Religion. Embracing both the spiritual and emotional side of life, Ziggy has definitively come into his own as an artist. The twelve-track album, released July 2, showcases Ziggy's tightly rolled talents as a songwriter (writing all cuts), musician (playing most of the instruments) and producer (shepherding all dozen tracks, with three co-produced by Grammy winner Ross Hogarth). For Ziggy, the only thing more joyful than making the album is the anticipation of the global tour he expects to kick off this summer.
In addition to his skills as a singer, songwriter and producer, Ziggy founded U.R.G.E. (Unlimited Resources Giving Enlightenment), a non-profit organization that benefits a wide range of charitable children's causes in Jamaica, Ethiopia and other developing nations. More recently he has thrown his support behind the Youth AIDS campaign. $1.25 from each ticket sale will be donated U.R.G.E.
On August 31, 2006, come hear reggae star Ziggy Marley performing live at the Guvernment.
