Being the son of the legendary Bob Marley and pursuing a music career without getting stuck in his shadow can’t be easy. Nevertheless, Stephen Marley has found musical harmony eschewing that shadow while still honoring its legacy and finding massive success. Stephen Marley crafts music that sounds like reggae yet doesn’t. It finds a liminal space between old and new, analog and digital, stretching the limits of the genre without wearing it out. Marley has earned critical acclaim and the trophies to come with it. These include eight Grammy Awards, three times as a solo artist, twice as a producer, and the rest with his older brother Ziggy Marley as part of his band, Ziggy Marley and the Melody Makers.
