It was my dad’s idea that music is supposed to be more than simply about entertainment and making a living, but about being of service as an integral part of the consciousness of the world. In honor of him and because it’s right, I use music in that light.

I would look at a dog and when our eyes met, I realized that the dog and all creatures are my family. They're like you and me.
Ziggy Marley

My father's music gives hope to people and also inspires them to break the bonds of injustice and to be positive in life. I've seen that everywhere I go, especially in poor countries and poor neighborhoods.
Ziggy Marley
Image
I am freely able to express myself honestly to the public without trying to polish it over, trying to hide something. I'm just trying to be free with my expression.
Ziggy Marley
Image
Working on my own gave me a chance to take my time and experiment a lot.
Ziggy Marley

Alcohol, tobacco, and pharmaceutical drugs are legal, but they can hurt a lot of people.
Ziggy Marley
Image
Each of us has some change within us, we cannot change the political or the social system of the world unless we change inside of us as individuals and that’s the direction I am in now which I call spiritual.
Ziggy Marley

In my songs, the sex is all subliminal. It's subliminal, spiritual.
Ziggy Marley
