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.

Damian Marley Lyrics
Yeah, yes mi Lion
Always look on the brighter side of life, you know
Nuh must
Now, don't you ever give up, don't you ever give in
Don't you ever give up, don't you ever give in
Don't you ever give up, don't you ever give in
We will have our way some day
Don't you ever 'dutty' 'cause a better you clean
Hail up King Selassie plus Omega the Queen
Don't you ever give up, don't you ever give in
'Cause I, I, I know we're gonna make it, it's not too late, no
We're gonna make it, yeah
Yes, I know we're gonna make it, it's not too late, no
We're gonna make it, yeah
Searching for the light because you're living in the dark
You must realize that Jah was with you from the start
Glorify his works and please be up full in your thoughts
Even thought the ones who wish you well are few and far apart
People never thought that we would make it through so far
Speak of love Jah children and be proud of who you are
Keep on concentrating on the brighter side of life
Don't let them get you down
'Cause I, I, I know we're gonna make it, it's not too late, no
We're gonna make it, yeah
Yes, I know we're gonna make it, it's not too late, no
Rasta Children gonna make it, yeah
If your brother weak then you must help him if you're strong
Love him for the right and do not judge him for the wrong
If your sister lost then you must help her find her way
She might just be the one to have to help you out some day
United we stand up or divided we will fall
Love you one another for the Father loves us all
Keep on concentrating on the brighter side of life
Don't let them get you down
'Cause I, I, I know we're gonna make it, it's not too late, sister love
We're gonna make it, yeah
Yes, I know we're gonna make it, it's not too late, brother man
Rasta Children gonna make it, huh
We will always share nuh care how meager the meal
Always speak the truth nuh care how ego wi' feel
I and I a root nuh care weh people believe
Don't you ever give up, don't you ever give in
Seed that we will sew will multiply in the field
Some a speak the word and some are doing the deeds
Don't you ever give up, don't you ever give in
'Cause I, I, I know we're gonna make it, it's not too late, sister love
Rasta children gonna make it, yeah
Yes, I know we're gonna make it, it's not too late, brother man
