Julian Ricardo Marley was born on June 4, 1975, in London, England. His early life was characterized by a strong immersion in music, influenced by his family. He developed skills in playing the keyboard, drums, bass, and guitar from a young age. He frequently traveled between England, where he was raised by his mother Lucy Pounder, and Jamaica, to visit his paternal half-brothers. This dual upbringing contributed to his musical perspective. By the age of five, Marley had recorded his first demo in Kingston. In 1989, he became involved with Ghetto Youth International, a production company, alongside his half-brothers Ziggy Marley and Stephen Marley. In 1993, he moved to Jamaica permanently, which led to the formation of the Ghetto Youths Crew with his brothers Stephen, Damian, and Ky-Mani Marley. The group toured the United States for three years.
Marley released his debut album, “Lion in the Morning,” in 1996, which was recorded at Tuff Gong Studios in Kingston, Jamaica. This release was followed by an international tour with his band, The Uprising, making stops at events like Jamaica’s Sumfest and Sunsplash Show, and playing the Marley Magic family performance at Central Park Summer Stage in New York, as well as in Brazil, Japan, and Mexico. He also performed with his brother Damian on the Lollapalooza festival tour. In 2002, Julian, Stephen, and Damian officially incorporated Ghetto Youths International, Inc., a family-owned record label aimed at fostering musical collaborations and releasing their own material and that of other artists. His second album, “A Time and Place,” was released in 2003. In 2008, the Jamaican government invited Marley and The Uprising band to represent Jamaica and perform at the Beijing Olympics. His third album, “Awake,” released in 2009, received a Grammy Award nomination for Best Reggae Album. He subsequently participated in the Mawazine festival in Rabat, Morocco, in 2011, and performed in Dhaka, Bangladesh, in 2013, and at the Fêtes de Genève in Geneva, Switzerland, in the same year.
His fourth album, “As I Am,” was released on January 25, 2019, also receiving a Grammy Award nomination in the Best Reggae Album category. In 2022, he collaborated with Hasidic hip-hop artist Moshe Reuven on the song “Say”. In 2024, Julian Marley received a Grammy Award for Best Reggae Album for “Colors of Royal,” a collaboration album with Antaeus. Beyond his musical career, Marley is involved in philanthropic activities and contributes to the Ghetto Youths Foundation.
