Jamaica and the last name Marley are almost synonymous. While the legendary musician is now with the ancestors, his familial roots remain strong around their homeland. For Mystic Marley, granddaughter of Bob Marley and daughter of multi-Grammy Award winner and producer Stephen Marley, she chooses to carry on her grandfather's legacy by following in his musical footsteps. She's also a big foodie who loves visiting some of the top spots around the island.
Mystic Marley is quickly becoming one of the most exciting and innovative artists of her generation, and her latest single "Energy" is sure to cement her status as a rising star. With her talent, dedication and passion, the Marley heir is poised for great success, and fans can't wait to see what she has in store for the future.
