From that moment on, music wasn’t an option, but an imperative for the now twenty-five year old. The Marley family legacy of spreading love and social messages through trans-hypnotic, reggae infused music has crowned its new prince. By 2017 Skip was collaborating with multi-award winning and multiplatinum selling pop artist, Katy Perry, when she featured him on her hit single Chained to the Rhythm, bringing him mainstream attention. They year 2020 led to another collaboration when Marley featured Grammy nominated R & B artist H.E.R. on the remix of his single Slow Down. In spring 2020, Slow Down, with over 185 million global streams, became the quickest and biggest-streaming song in Marley family history, and elevated Skip to over 417 million total global artist streams, also Making Marley the first Jamaican-born artist to reach the #1 spot on the Billboard Adult R&B chart. At the same time, Skip became the first Jamaican-born artist inside the Top 15 on Billboard’s R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay chart in nearly a decade and a half. Collaborations with family, including his Uncle Damian Marley, on the single That’s Not True deliver Bob Marley’s time tested message, while Make Me Feel featuring Rick Ross and Ari Lennox introduce Skip to an audience that embraces a fusion of reggae, pop and rap sounds. Skip Marley is cultivating an eclectic catalog of music that speaks to a generation that refuses to be put into a box, but instead embraces diverse expression. The year 2022 shows no signs of slowing down, with Skip Marley recent single Vibe featuring Jamaican deejay and singer-songwriter Popcaan, and Marley’s first U.S. headlining twenty city tour, Change.
