About
The ninth of Bob Marley's children, Julian Marley was born in London on June 4, 1975, to Barbados native Lucy Pounder. Raised in both England and Jamaica, he took to the family business at a young age and displayed a natural musical ability on guitar, bass, drums, and keyboards. He spent some time during his teenage years living in Miami, where he developed his creative abilities at the Lion's Den, a studio owned by the Marley family. Along with brothers Ziggy and Stephen, he became involved with the family charity production company and label, Ghetto Youths International, which in the early '90s branched out into the Ghetto Youths Crew, a touring group that featured Julian, Stephen, Damian, and Ky-Mani Marley. Julian made his solo debut with 1996's Lion in the Morning. Recorded in Jamaica at Tuff Gong Studios where his father had created some of his best-known music, the album was credited to Julian Marley & the Uprising and featured a host of guest artists including Wailers member Tyrone Downie and siblings Stephen, Sharon, and Cedella Marley. In addition to touring around the world with the Uprising, he also joined his brother Damien's band for the Lollapalooza tour and played guitar on Lauryn Hill's Grammy-winning 1998 LP The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill.
