He recently released his sixth studio album ( Ziggy Marley), which follows his 2014 Grammy-winning album, Fly Rasta. Ziggy, the first-born, told GQ he sees himself as a “voice of reason” to his siblings and has seven Grammy’s to his name. This gift of reggae and realism was passed down to some of his 11 kids, particularly Ziggy, Stephen, and Damian.
