Ziggy Marley (born 17 January 1968) aka David Nesta Marley is a reggae artist from Kingston, Jamaica- the eldest son of Bob and Rita Marley and part of a musical legacy.
Following in his famous father's footsteps, Ziggy made his recording debut alongside his siblings on Bob Marley's track "Children Playing in the Streets”. From an early age Ziggy had developed an interest in music as his father showed him the ropes and taught him the drums and guitars as he sat in mesmerised by studio sessions of The Wailers.
In 1979 along with his siblings Ziggy formed the Melody Makers who signed to EMI with Ziggy on lead vocals. They released their debut album "Play the Game" in 1985, produced by their mother which leaned towards a much poppier sound. After the lack of sales from their second release “Hey World” in 1986, the label wanted to market Ziggy as a solo artist but standing firm in belief they parted ways with EMI, moving to Virgin Records where they came to be known as Ziggy Marley and the Melody Makers.
With the new label on board the band released the album “Conscious Party” in 1988 which was a commercial success, making its way into the Top 40 US charts featuring the iconic track “Tomorrow People”. In 1989 the album received a Grammy Award for Best Reggae Album.
As the nineties held little success for the band, Ziggy’s political voice became more apparent as he began working more with the United Nations after being recognised as their Goodwill Youth Ambassador. In 2002 alongside his brothers Ziggy started up Ghetto Youths Crew record label with the premise of helping under privileged youths in their daily struggle to survive.
Ziggy released his first solo album “Dragonfly” in 2003 which featured Flea and John Frusciante of Red Hot Chilli Peppers on the track “Rainbow in the Sky” and reached number three in Billboard’s top reggae albums. His second release “Love Is My Religion” in 2006 through his father’s label Tuff Gong Worldwide continued the success of his previous album and earned him another Grammy in 2007 for Best Reggae Album. It was the title track which saw Ziggy reach unprecedented heights as he blossomed into a worldwide star with his music the hitting airwaves.
Continuing his father’s namesake, Ziggy has continued building on the Marley legacy divulging into children’s author, philanthropist and musician.
Read moreI often find myself so worked up in anticipation and excitement for a concert only to be disappointed with a performance seemingly filled with lack of enthusiasm or interest in the crowd. Don’t get me wrong.
I understand performers get tired too, but in my opinion the audience can tell the difference between tired and detached. That being said, Sunday night (October 26, 2014) at The Belmont with Ziggy Marley was NOT one of those disappointing occasions. Never mind the fact that the venue is almost perfect for an intimate concert or that the weather spared the crowd from a night of sweaty discomfort from Texas’ almost perpetual summer heat. What made this concert great was the sense that Ziggy and his band genuinely have a great time with each other on stage and want to pass that feeling to the audience. Admittedly, I am a huge fan of Ziggy Marley and reggae in general, and seeing such a recognized artist of the genre (and from such an iconic reggae family) would have been amazing to me no matter what, but the performance really exceeded my expectations.
I felt relaxed, moved, and empowered all at the same time! Not to mention that this guy, who normally won’t force any crowd watch me attempt to dance, found myself swaying with the music throughout the entire two hours. Hey, swaying is dancing in my book! To sum it all up, as you may have already been able to tell, Ziggy Marley’s concert was one of the best I’ve experienced and one I won’t soon forget.
Ziggy Marley puts his incredible mark on the legacy that was started by his father Bob Marley. Ziggy is the eldest son, and has been releasing reggae and Jamaican infused soul for the past decade.
When you see Ziggy live, you understand immediately where he comes from, and how he's managed to amass a large following in a relatively short time. As far as reggae goes, Ziggy plays the style in the familiar modern style, with Caribbean sounds and feel. There is political, romantic, and cultural references abound in the songs, which are incredibly smooth and catchy.Ziggy Marley plays for bigger crowds in recent years.
I saw him open up for 311 back in 2011 in St. Louis. For an opening act, he really blew me away -- as well as the rest of the crowd -- with an incredible performance full of passion and professionalism. He had a large band, including backup singers off to the side of the stage, which added to the feel of the show. He played songs spanning his entire studio collection, but I'd say the show peaked during "Melancholy Mood" and "Changes."
The show is full of color and rasta attitude; I can't wait to see him perform again.
What a disappointment!! Not because Ziggy's performance was bad but because he wasn't even fhere!! This concert listed Ziggy Marley, van Halen and Kenny shepherd. The other performers showed up. But that was it!! My and my date are sitting there waiting for the person we bought the tickets for...Ziggy Marley. And he wasn't even there. Eveythig online says he was to be at this concert. I have not researched to find out what happened. But we would not have even gone if we knew Ziggy would not be there. That was a lot of money to see people you don't even listen to.

What an amazing event.
We came in from the Dominican Republic, Everything was get and everyone was so helpful and friendly. The Venue is amazing and the Sound exquisite, white tail deer roaming the hillside, moon out, and Ziggy’s performance WOW !! Just wow ive seen Ziggy perform many times and places but last night and this show was absolutely the best.
Thank you, Ja Guidance, Bless
Saw Ziggy at Lowell Summer Stage, a few weeks ago. Wonderful show...he's playing songs mostly from his last 2 albums (Fly Rasta, and Wild & Free), with a few Bobs songs and old Ziggy classics thrown in. Ziggy delivers a strong, thoughtful, loving and fun message to the crowd. They kept me singing and dancing throughout the whole show. Perfect Irie Reggae Vibes :)
A Few words to describe the show:
EXHILARATING
HAPPY

The Ziggy Marley concert at Artpark in Lewiston, New York was probably one of the best concerts of my life. Ziggy played his hits and a selection of his fathers best hits as well. The crowd loved every minute of it! I was blown away by the sound and length of the concert. Totally AWESOME!
Ziggy always puts on a great show!! His music is so much fun to dance to!! Excellent show!! Cant wait till the next one!! The Belasco is a very cool, very intimate venue!! Will definitely be checking out more shows there!!
Spectacular show by Ziggy, good vibes, the new songs are really good! The sound was amazing, remaining classic songs of his father Bob Marley. Everybody dance and jump with his songs. The best!
I saw ziggy 2 times once with the melody makers,and once on the love is my relegion tour in the netherlands,it was a spiritual experience,i can,t wait for the next concert in the netherlands
