Ky-Mani Marley

Ky-Mani Marley is a Jamaican reggae musician. In 2001, he received a Grammy nomination for his album Many More Roads. He is the only child of the late reggae musician Bob Marley and Anita Belnavis, a Jamaican table tennis champion. He is one of Bob Marley’s 11 children.
While a teenager, Marley started rapping and deejaying. His first single was “Unnecessary Badness”. He became inspired as a singer after being asked to sing a hook to a song during a recording session at a studio in Miami. Marley soon began experimenting with laying tracks, at times with his brothers Stephen, Julian, and Damian.
Marley signed to Shang Records where he recorded his debut album in 1996, Like Father Like Son, and several singles: “Judge Not” with Patra, followed by “Dear Dad”, “Who the Cap Fit (remix)”, and “Sensimelia”, all of which added to his growing reputation in the new generation of reggae musicians. In 1997, Marley joined forces with Refugee Camp All-Stars and Pras of the Fugees, on “Avenues”, a hit cover of Eddy Grant’s “Electric Avenue”. Marley appeared at international music showcase Midem when it was held in Miami for the first time.
Marley’s next recording was the 2000 release, The Journey. In 2001, he released his third studio album Many More Roads, which was nominated for a Grammy Award, and went on tour.
In 2019, Marley collaborated with XXXTentacion, Stefflon Don, and Vybz Kartel on the single “Royalty”.
