Julian Marley
The son of Bob and Lucy Pounder was born in England on June 4, 1975, and grew up with his mom in London. They lived "where most of the Caribbean people lived," Julian told the Denver Post in 2021. "I went to public school and all of that. It was an ordinary youth."
But he visited Bob in Jamaica every year and eventually moved to Kingston when he was 17, following his late father into music and Rastafarianism. About teaming up with his brothers in the recording studio, he told the Post, "Collaborating is us cooking together, eating together, playing some football [soccer]. But it depends. It's like friends working naturally together. You don't even have to say too much. I play something, and I already know what my brother is thinking...It's all about understanding and communication, which is the key."
Apart from his famous family, however, Julian won the 2024 Grammy for Best Reggae Album for Colors of Royal, a collaboration with the French band Antaeus.
Julian has also advocated for increasing the availability of cannabis treatments for children after losing his 11-year-old daughter Caveri to brain cancer in 2019. "I want to make people aware that all the healing that we need comes from Mother Earth," he told Forbes. "My music is specially geared for social awareness and for the people, to bring people together."
Ky-Mani Marley
The Grammy-nominated reggae artist whose first name means "adventurous traveler" was born to Bob and Anita Belnavis, a Jamaican table tennis champion, on Feb. 26, 1976. (In 2023, he shouted out Karen Marley on Instagram, writing, "My beautiful sister and I share the same b day different year. To me that's such a beautiful thing. Big sis I love you to no end.")
He is reportedly married to Janie E.K. Green.
Damian Marley
The four-time Grammy winner is the youngest of Bob's known children (as in, the ones acknowledged by his estate and listed on the family website). Born July 21, 1978, his mother is Jamaican jazz singer Cindy Breakspeare, Miss World 1976 and the alleged muse for Bob's songs "Turn Your Lights Down Low" and "Waiting in Vain."
From 2009 to 2011, Damian was in the secret supergroup SuperHeavy with Mick Jagger, Joss Stone, Dave Stewart and A. R. Rahman, and has also collaborated with the likes of Nas and Skrillex.
In 2023, Damian said his late father remained as relevant as ever.
"He's consistently been relevant throughout the times," the musician told Barron's Penta. "Hats off to my family members who all work very hard at maintaining his legacy. It's not just by chance, you have a lot of people who put a lot of hours into it every day, making sure things are going the right way, and exploring different opportunities to keep his legacy alive."
