Damian Marley is the youngest son of Bob Marley. He is the only child born to Marley and Cindy Breakspeare, a Jamaican jazz musician, former model and crowned Miss World 1976.

Breakspeare had Damian through her relationship with Bob Marley, who remained married to Rita Marley until his death.

Bob is said to have written the songs “Turn Your Lights Down Low” and “Waiting in Vain” about her.

With the backing of his father’s label, Tuff Gong, Damian Marley released his 1996 debut album, Mr Marley, which surprised many who were unaccustomed to hearing a Marley deejaying rather than singing.

With the success of this album, he went ahead to release other albums that received massive reactions from the public.
