The youngest of Bob Marley's sons, Damian Marley was only two when his father died. At age 13 he formed his first band, the Shepherds, which also included the son of Third World's Cat Coore and the daughter of Freddie McGregor. By 1994 Damian was working on his own solo project, and he recorded Mr. Marley, assisted by Stephen Marley, who produced and co-wrote several songs for the LP. Halfway Tree from 2001 earned a Grammy nomination, but the public generally overlooked the ambitious album. Not so the reggae-meets-hip-hop single "Welcome to Jamrock," however, which became an urban phenomenon soon after its summer 2005 release. The well-rounded album Welcome to Jamrock delivered on the promise of the single that same year, reaching the Top Ten. ~ John Bush
