A native of Kingston, Jamaica, Ziggy Marley and his siblings first sat in on recording sessions with his father's band, the legendary Bob Marley and the Wailers, when he was ten years old. Later, Ziggy joined with his sisters Sharon and Cedella and brother Stephen to become Ziggy Marley & The Melody Makers, allowing him to craft his own soulful sound which blends blues, R&B, hip-hop and roots reggae. The Melody Makers earned their first Grammy (Best Reggae Recording) for their third album Conscious Party (1988), produced by Talking Heads Chris Frantz and Tina Weymouth, which included the hit songs "Tomorrow People" and "Tumbling Down."

A five-time Grammy-winning musician, actor, artist, activist and humanitarian, Ziggy Marley has established his presence on the public stage for over a quarter-century.

Drawing from an era that many consider to be reggae’s golden age, the late 60s through the late 70s, and the latin influences of two of its members, Don Chani has carved out a unique sound unmatched by any of its contemporary counterparts.Don Chani has shared the stage with reggae greats such as The Wailers, The Skatalites, Culture, Eek A Mouse, Luciano, Burning Spear, Steel Pulse, The Itals, Yellowman, Sister Carol, The Wailing Souls, Morgan Heritage, Pato Banton, The Melodians, The Mighty Diamonds, Sierra Leone Refugee All Stars, Kenyatta Hill, Isreal Vibration, and The Meditations. Don Chani has also shared the stage with Bob Schneider, The Roots, Mishka, and Cas Haley (America’s Got Talent).
