One Bright Day
Ziggy Marley is Bob Marley’s first son. He was born David Marley on October 17, 1968. He spent his youth in Trench Town, one of Kingston’s poorest neighborhoods. Ziggy’s mother was a singer in Bob Marley and the Wailers.
Ziggy formed the band Melody Makers with his siblings in 1981 after Bob Marley’s death. Their album Conscious Party (1988) won a Grammy Award and helped the group break through to mainstream audiences. One Bright Day came out in 1989 as Ziggy Marley & the Melody Makers. They won the 1989 Grammy Award for Best Reggae Recording.
After a few more successful albums with the group, Marley began a solo career in 2006.
