Julian Marley Honors His Father’s Legacy Ahead of the 2025 GRAMMYs
As the 2025 GRAMMY Awards approach, reggae artist Julian Marley — son of legendary musician Bob Marley — opened up in an emotional interview about his father’s profound influence on his life and career. Julian is nominated for Best Reggae Album, a major milestone that places him in the spotlight once again.
In a candid interview with Rolling Stone, Julian shared:
“My father wasn’t just a musician. He was a mission. Every time I step on stage, I feel like he’s right there beside me.”
Julian also revealed a previously untold story from his childhood: secret late-night jam sessions with Bob Marley, where they explored experimental blends of reggae and traditional African rhythms. These recordings, mostly unfinished, remain deeply personal to Julian — and he hopes to complete them someday as a tribute.
Julian’s presence at this year’s GRAMMYs is more than just symbolic. It’s a reminder that Bob Marley’s legacy continues to evolve through the next generation, carried forward with love, purpose, and innovation.
“Whether I win or not, I know my father would be proud,” Julian concluded.
