Stephen “Ragga” Marley, a highly acclaimed singer, songwriter, and producer, had achieved an impressive feat of securing eight Grammy Awards throughout his career. With his rich musical lineage as the son of reggae legends Bob Marley and Rita Marley, Stephen embarked on his professional singing career at the tender age of 6. He toured the world alongside his elder siblings Ziggy, Sharon, and Cedella as part of The Melody Makers.
