Ky-Mani Marley

Born in Falmouth, Jamaica, in 1976, Ky-Mani Marley grew up between his family's musical legacy and the culture of Miami, where he moved as a child with his mother Anita Belnavis. The son of Bob Marley, Ky-Mani launched his career with a blend of reggae, dancehall, hip-hop and R&B, adopting a style that ranges from singing to phrasing reminiscent of deejaying. After several singles in the mid-1990s, he released Like Father Like Son in 1996, The Journey in 2000 and Many More Roads in 2001, the latter nominated for a Grammy Award. His discography continued with Milestone (2004), Radio (2007) and Maestro (2015), and his path broadened through collaborations with Refugee Camp All-Stars and Pras on "Avenues" and with Gentleman on Conversations in 2016. Ky-Mani Marley thus moves between roots reggae, more urban formats and cross-genre projects, including opening for Van Halen in 2007. Alongside his music career, he has also appeared in the Jamaican films Shottas and One Love.
