He is a member of the Rastafarian house The Twelve Tribes of Israel . His childhood was spent between England and Jamaica, and he learned to play the keyboard, drums, bass, guitar, and various percussion instruments. Together with his brothers Ziggy Marley and Stephen Marley , Julian became an active partner of Ghetto Youth International, a production company, in 1989. He has released three albums: Lion In The Morning (1996), A Time & Place (2003), Awake (2009)
For Julian Marley, music is life, life is music, and both are blessings from above. "From a small age music has been there in my life. It's just natural. And it is with the inspiration of the Most High that I create my songs," he explains. Julian's development as a singer/songwriter began when, at age five, he recorded his first demo tape, a version of his father's classic composition, "Slave Driver," at the Marley family's Tuff Gong studio in Kingston. Since that auspicious beginning, Julian has devoted himself to a life in music, mastering a variety of instruments and writing songs that reflects his dedication to spiritual boost and social change.
The 90s were a watershed period for the young artist. During these years, Julian formed his own band (the Uprising band), released a critically acclaimed album (1996's Lion in the Morning, on which he wrote or co-wrote all the songs) and toured the world, both as a solo performer backed by Uprising and as a member of Ghetto Youths International, a musical collective whose core members are Julian and his brothers, Stephen and Damian Marley. Together, Julian and Damian were the opening act for Ziggy Marley and the Melody Makers' 1995 US tour and featured artists in 1997 on the rock-oriented Lollapalooza festival tour. Julian also assisted his brother Stephen with production on 1999's platinum selling Chant Down Babylon and, along with Spragga Benz and Marley siblings Stephen, Cedella, Damian and Ky-Mani Marley , contributed an inspired version of "Master Blaster" to the 2003 Stevie Wonder tribute album, Conception.
Julian's newest offering, A Time and Place, is an organic fusion of rootical reggae and breezy jazz sounds that represent the next milestone in his artistic path. "Coming from Lion in the Morning," Julian explains, "I have more knowledge and I'm growing. And this is a very personal album. A lot of it came from reasoning with bredren. We would converse about a situation and just start writing from there." The thirteen tracks are, as the artist himself says, "very much of the time. If you check it out right now, most of the music out there is about bling blings and crazy things. My songs are to be taken as wake up calls." Each is built on a solid foundation of traditional reggae but contain a wide range of influences, showcasing Julian's natural love of music

Boom Draw
by Julian Marley
Healing of a nation, I cients, whoa
Healing of a nation, I cients, whoa
Healing of a nation, I cients, whoa
A Boom Draw of herb deh by mi bed side
Open book of scriptures
I man wont deny keep it high.
The grass is greener on the other side
A good meditation man cant hide.
Say me have fi
Catch up all a fire
Fi go burn di sinting sinting weh strong.
Mi have fi send fi rizzla
Fi go burn di sinting sinting weh strong.
Forgot me have fi send fi a quarter
Cause mi find out mi sittin it done.
May have fi send fi a lighter
Fi go burn down babylon
Ey
Oh green grade, purple grade, brown grade for me
High grade topper grade medicate for me. G
Ive me meditation give me vibes in a hurry
A boom draw of herb keeps me curry.
Way back in days of old
Before babylon entered where plants were grown.
A lickle draw of herb was on solomon s throne
You cant tell I and I leave it alone.
Its like 1 2 3 draws for me
Come take a seat a lickle reasoning with me.
Elevate your mind keep your mind ever ready
Steady.
Well mi have fi
Catch up all a fire
Fi go burn di sinting sinting weh strong.
Mi have fi send fi a rizzla
Fi go burn di sinting sinting we strong.
Forget me have fi send fi a quarter acre
The lilly bit it done.
Mi have fi send fi a lighter
Fi go burn down babylon.
Oh kayaman rastaman pass me di cutchi
Chant two psalms give praises to haile.
Anywhere we deh di boom draw we have fi get it
A could a fresh or pressie.
Herbs to I is a sacrament
And if you feel I and I then a message sent.
You have fi class green as intelligence
The king of kings a we represent.
Is like east-land, west-land or new zealand
Have a good draw coming straight from westmoreland.
As we blaze it up we see clear to progression
We no deal with oppression.
Catch up all fire
Fi go burn di sinting sinting weh strong.
Mi have fi send fi a rizzla
I go burn di sinting sinting weh strong.
Forget me have fi send fi a quarter
The lilly bit it done.
Me have fi send fi a lighter
Fi go burn down babylon.
Oh run run run as fast as you can
Yu cant catch me Im the green green man.
Up and down looking everywhere trying ti find me
But me up in mi high high medi.
Like a bird we soar
Burn it up galore.
Are u really sure
U can burn one more?
U got to be mature
To open up the door.
Got to be secure
Got to be for sure.
Mi have fi advertise
It keep mi stress from rise.
Now I visualize
X-ray through their lies.
Cool and gwan observe
And mello out your nerve.
Well mi have fi
Catch up all fire
Fi go burn di sinting sinting weh strong.
Mi have fi send fi a rizzla
I go burn di sinting sinting weh strong.
Forget me have fi send fi a quarter
The lilly bit it done.
Me have fi send fi a lighter
Fi go burn down babylon.
A boom draw of herb deh by bed side
Open book of scriptures I man wont deny.
Keep It high Y all
The grass is greener on the other side.
A good meditation I man cant hide. End dialogue
