Damian Marley

Damian Marley (born on July 21, 1978 in Kingston, Jamaica) is the youngest male child of reggae legend Bob Marley, and the only child born to Marley and Cindy Breakspeare, the Miss World 1976. Damian's nickname is Junior Gong which is derived from his father's nickname of Tuff Gong.

A talented artist in his own right, Damian has been performing since the age of 13. He shares with his brothers and sisters a full-time career in the Marley family business, music. Unlike his brothers and sisters, however, his musical specialty is "deejaying", the Jamaican style of "rapping" which some consider a predecessor of modern hip-hop. He is very much at home in this element, as his stage presence attests, and he is also an adept song-writer. As of 2005 he has released three albums, his first, Mr. Marley in 1996, his second, Halfway Tree in 2001, and his third, Welcome To Jamrock in September 2005. Halfway Tree was the 2002 recipient of the Grammy Award for Best Reggae Album. Damian frequently tours with his brothers Julian and Stephen, who are both members of the Ghetto Youths Crew, their own band.

	Leuke eclectische plaat ja. Vooral het titelnummer is toch een van de betere singles van het afgelopen jaar. Donderdag 9 maart en Vrijdag 10 maart staat hij overigens in Paradiso.

	Heb het album beluisterd. Gevarieerd, maar wel zo dat ik de helft van de nummers zwak vond - de andere helft wel OK. De single vind ik zeer sterk.
