It is only two months into the year and Ziggy Marley has hit the ground running. The Grammy-winning musician, actor, artiste, activist and humanitarian has been busy with projects spanning human rights, the environment, and entertainment.
Marley’s new radio show, Ziggy Marley’s Legends of Reggae, made its debut on SiriusXM satellite radio’s the Joint. The first episode aired on Sunday, February 5, one day before his late father Bob Marley’s birthday, featuring an in-depth interview with reggae legend Jimmy Cliff. The monthly show airs on the Joint on the first Saturday of every month.
In his role as activist, Marley is one of the spokespersons for Amnesty International benefit. Earlier this year, the musician contributed the cover version of Blowin’ in the Wind on the Bob Dylan tribute album, Chimes of Freedom, for the human rights agency’s 50th anniversary celebrations. He performed Blowin’ in the Wind on the Late Night Show with David Letterman, in support of the Chimes of Freedom album release.
The performer in his humanitarian cap was also busy playing his part to protect the environment. He was the interview feature in the cover story of Boulder Weekly and a played a benefit concert in Boulder Colorado to promote freedom from Genetically Modified Organisms as part of the GMO Free Boulder campaign.
Ziggy’s TV appearances this month include the popular show, Last Call, with host Carson Daly. He was interviewed about touring; his new comic book, Marijuanaman; his latest album; and memories of his father Bob Marley.
Marley’s latest album Wild and Free was nominated for Best Reggae Album at the 54th Grammy Awards. The musician will continue working on his Wild and Free music video to be released later and carry on his tours among other major activities.
Additionally, Ziggy Marley is looking forward to the debut of Marley, a documentary film on the life, music and legacy of Bob Marley, produced by Cowboy Films and Shangri-La Entertainment.
