Da mein Vater und meine Schwester die meiste Zeit ihres Lebens sehr deprimiert waren, musste ich versuchen, sie auf diese lächerliche Art zum Lachen zu bringen. Sie waren die witzigsten Leute, die ich kannte, aber ein Lächeln von ihnen zu bekommen, war wie ein Gewinn der Lotterie.

Being Bob Marley's son has done many things for me, in terms of having a career in music. I'm very proud of my music, and I'm very proud of where I'm from. People hear that I'm Bob Marley's son, and they turn on my music to listen just out of curiosity.

From a very young age, music was very much in my house. I would sit with my mom, with the old LPs, listening to The Beatles and Carly Simon and Lionel Richie. The old LPs used to have the lyrics. From there, I would put on dance and music displays for my family, just to entertain them and make people laugh and smile.

People come up to me on the street and make some little joke - like they'll say, 'Excuse me, sir, what time is it?' And I'll say, you know, '5:15,' and they'll say, 'Hey! Made you talk!' And that's merely a way of saying, 'I know your work and I like you.'
