In Hawaii, some of the biggest radio stations are reggae. The local bands are heavily influenced by Bob Marley.
Bob Marley is one of the most recognized artists. He didn't care to be defined. People wondered, 'Is it reggae? Is it rock?' But at the end of the day they were still playing his music and that's what matters.
I would never say that being Bob Marley's son has been a pressure. It has been a door opener.
'Marley' does what is probably the best possible job of documenting an important life.
That's the best way to feed the human mind. That's how Bob Marley did it. He never put it in your face. After you got the groove, you were just singing the hooks, because you thought it was cool.
The amazing thing about Bob Marley is that there is no moving footage of him at all for the first ten or eleven years of his career. From 1962 to 1973, there's nothing, not a single frame.
I spent some time with Bob Marley and I have to say that was like walking with a god on earth.
Bob Marley songs are my songs. These are the songs that have been passed on to me. Let me say, I wear my family crest, and I represent my family to the fullest.
I love being Bob Marley's son because he's a great man.
