Ziggy Marley

Reggae legend Bob Marley’s eldest son Ziggy has been at it for a long time. In fact, he even played his dad’s funeral in 1981. Escaping the massive shadow of pa like Bob is no easy task, but Ziggy has managed to chart an impressive solo career; he recorded LPs with his old band—the Melody Makers—and has since notched four solo albums. His latest, Wild And Free, was released last year to warm reviews. The busy Jamaican has also moonlighted as an actor, political rabble-rouser and—not surprisingly—a vocal marijuana advocate; he issued his first comic book, Marijuanaman, last year.
