A five-time Grammy-winning musician, actor, artist, activist and humanitarian, Ziggy Marley has established his presence on the public stage for over a quarter-century.
Wild and Free (Tuff Gong Worldwide), his fourth solo album, may be Ziggy's most political and personal to date. The overall theme of the album is a powerful one, as it propels Marley to challenge social injustice along with the political weapons of ignorance and fear.Ā It was produced with friend and collaborator Don Was at Ocean Way Studios in Hollywood, CA as well as Marley's own studio.
Among other new Marley projects is the comic book Marijuanaman (Image Comics), which offers a new toke on a familiar genre: a superhero with a galactic view of Earth's dwindling natural resources, and how one versatile plant might help save us all.Ā Based on an original character created and developed by Marley, the book was written by Joe Casey (GĆødland, Butcher Baker) and illustrated by Jim Mahfood (Kick Drum Comix, Mix Tape).
A native of Kingston, Jamaica, Ziggy Marley and his siblings first sat in on recording sessions with his father's band, the legendary Bob Marley and the Wailers, when he was ten years old. Later, Ziggy joined with his sisters Sharon and Cedella and brother Stephen to become Ziggy Marley & The Melody Makers, allowing him to craft his own soulful sound which blends blues, R&B, hip-hop and roots reggae. The Melody Makers earned their first Grammy (Best Reggae Recording) for their third album Conscious Party (1988), produced by Talking Heads Chris Frantz and Tina Weymouth, which included the hit songs "Tomorrow People" and "Tumbling Down."
Subsequent albums included the Grammy-winning One Bright Day (1989), Jamekya (1991), Joy and Blues (1993), Free Like We Want 2 B (1995), Grammy-winning Fallen is Babylon (1997), Spirit of Music (1999) and Ziggy Marley & The Melody Makers Live, Vol. 1 (2000), featuring some of their biggest hits, as well as a cover of Bob Marley's "Could You Be Loved."Ā While selling millions of records and selling out numerous concerts, Ziggy Marley and The Melody Makers never lost sight of their foundations in faith, fellowship and family.
After two decades as the driving creative force behind The Melody Makers, Ziggy's first solo tour came in Summer 2002, on the 23-city Jeep World Outside Festival, joining such artists as Sheryl Crow, Train and O.A.R.Ā The following year saw the release of his debut solo album, Dragonfly, followed by 2006's Love Is My Religion, a Grammy winner that further explored personal, social and political themes amid a fragrant mix of roots reggae, traditional rock ān roll, African percussion and other varied musical elements.Ā Recently, Marley won his fifth Grammy Award, in the category "Best Musical Album for Children," for Family Time, a 2009 collection of reggae-inflected, family-oriented songs which features family and friends including; Rita Marley, Cedella Marley, Judah Marley, Jack Johnson, Willie Nelson, Paul Simon, Laurie Berkner, Elizabeth Mitchell and Jamie Lee Curtis.
Involved with a breadth of charities, Marley leads his own, URGE (Unlimited Resources Giving Enlightenment), a non-profit organization that benefits efforts in Jamaica, Ethiopia and other developing nations.Ā The charity's missions range from building new schools to operating health clinics to supporting charities like Mary's Child, a center for abused and neglected girls.
Ziggy also continues to head Tuff Gong Worldwide, in honor of his father's own music label Tuff Gong Records, which envisioned independent ownership of Marley music.Ā Ziggy recently reclaimed most of the publishing rights to his music, giving him a strong sense of fulfillment in light of the "independent spirit of what my father dreamed of."
I seen Ziggy several and his concert get better and better!
Went to see Wailing Souls and not so much Ziggy. Missed the Wailing Souls last year at Hollywood Bowl. Only saw Ziggy, horrible parking.
Great showšš¼š¬š³ BUT,š¬SMOKING š¬ still an issue on the stands. Not everyone gets the messageš
Loving the groove. Great vibes. The band is top tier. Beautiful positive message and great times!!
Ziggy came out with more energy than I have seen in the past. He had a great play list. Played some older Ziggy songs which was great. He mixed in his father's songs as well and he sounded great. His singers were awesome. Band was awesome. Great show!
Amazing show i have seen ziggy three times now and he only gets better with age .. what a great show if you get a chance definately go see him !!!!!
Ziggy's performance was great 'but the area was not smoke free I was not thrilled for having to inhale other people's ignorant smoke 'also of the stage is on higher elevation the performance is easily viewed, if I had to see them from a TV monitor I could have done that for free at my home with no smoke in my lungs .
Great time at the Pacific amphitheater watching Ziggy Marley ā¤ļøššš¤
The warm up band not so much. Didn't look very professional.
I like the amphitheater. My experience has always been positive and it was again with the Ziggy Marley concert. The bathrooms are clean. The ease of getting in and out was good. My only complaint was the smell of pot was strong.
