Damian was two years old when his father Bob died; he is the only child born to Marley and Cindy Breakspeare, Miss World 1976. Damian's nickname Junior Gong is derived from his father's nickname of Tuff Gong. Damian has been performing since the age of 13 and released his first album in 1996, at the age of 18. He shares, along with most of his family, a full-time career in music. Unlike his brothers and sisters, however, his musical specialty is "toasting", a Jamaican vocal technique that is a predecessor to rapping.
Damian has 3 records to date, including the highest placed reggae album in the USA billboard album charts with Welcome To Jamrock, and the highest place reggae song in the UK Top 40 with Welcome to Jamrock.
Like his father before him and the rest of the Marley family, he is a Rastafarian and his music reflects the Rastafari guiding principles of love and political freedom.

The song "Na Na Na Na" by Damian Marley is essentially about sexual desire and the thrill of being with a woman on the dance floor. The lyrics suggest that the rapper wants the girl to dance for him and move her body in a provocative way. He uses words like "rock that ass," "work your body," "change positions," "new position" to encourage her to be more sensual with him. The song has a strong sexual undertone, and the rapper's desires are made even clearer when he talks about wanting to be with the girl in the VIP room.
The song seems to glorify sexual encounters and positions the female body as an object of desire. It showcases a culture of objectifying women and presents male desire as the ultimate goal for female existence. The lyrics suggest that the woman's worth lies in her ability to tantalize men, and that her body is a tool to be exploited for male satisfaction.
The song's message is ultimately problematic and reinforces negative gender stereotypes. It portrays women as sexual objects and encourages men to objectify and exploit them. The lyrics suggest that women exist solely for male pleasure, and that their worth is contingent on their sexual desirability.
