The son of reggae legend
Bob Marley and Lucy Pounder,
Julian Marley grew up away from his half-brothers
Ziggy and
Damian, having been raised in England with his mother. He still visited his father and
Rita Marley in Jamaica, and by 1989 became involved in
Ziggy and
Stephen Marley's production company Ghetto Youth International.
Stephen executive produced
Julian's debut album
Lion in the Morning, released by Tuff Gong in 1996. In 2003 he dropped
A Time & Place, and then in 2009 he released
Awake, which featured tracks with both
Stephen and
Damian. ~ David Jeffries, All Music Guide
