Reggae Artist & Bob Marley’s Grandson Was 31 – Deadline

Joseph “Jo Mersa” Marley, son of Stephen Marley and grandson of Bob Marley, has died. He was 31.

A consultant for the late reggae artist confirmed the information to Rolling Stone on December 27. (*31*) of the reason for demise are unclear at this second.

Marley was born on March 12, 1991, in Kingston, Jamaica. He made his debut with “My Girl” in 2010 the place he collaborated together with his cousin Daniel Bambaata Marley. In 2012 he launched “Bad So” which was included in his EP titled “Comfortable” in 2014. His debut album titled “Eternal” would drop in 2021.

In an interview with Rolling Stone, Marley talked about rising up surrounded by a household of musicians saying, “It was a very magical thing, seeing those people come around to the house and how the whole work process would happen. I would come home and try to do homework, but I’d end up getting distracted and go peek in the studio. You would always want to run in and run out to see what was going on.”

Despite his grandfather being a legend in music, Jo Mersa was decided to pave his personal highway within the trade.

“I am one of the new generation of Marleys, but I am still experimenting at the same time,” he added “My plan is to do something new with my roots.”
