Damian 'Junior Gong' Marley - Reggae Artiste

Damian Marley (born July 21, 1978 in Kingston, Jamaica), is a Grammy-winning reggae artist and is the youngest male child (or 'veteran', as stated in the song "Me Name Jr. Gong") of reggae legend Bob Marley, and the only child born to Marley and Cindy Breakspeare, Miss World 1976. Damian's nickname is Junior Gong which is derived from his father's nickname of Tuff Gong. Damian has been performing since the age of 13. He shares with most of the Marley family a full-time career in music. Unlike his brothers and sisters, however, his musical specialty is "DeeJaying", the Jamaican style of "rapping".

As of 2006, he has released three albums. His first, Mr. Marley, was released in 1996, his second, Halfway Tree in 2001, and his third, Welcome To Jamrock in September 2005. Halfway Tree was the 2002 recipient of the Grammy Award for Best Reggae Album. At the 2006 Grammy Awards, he won Best Reggae Album again for Welcome to Jamrock and Best Urban/Alternative Performance for the song "Welcome to Jamrock".

Like his father before him and the rest of the Marley family, he is a Rastafarian and his music reflects both his beliefs and the Rastafarian guiding principles of one love, one planet, and freedom for all. While he travels and tours the better part of the year, his home base is split between Kingston, Jamaica and Miami, Florida.

See you in Jamaica.

Hello would you mind stating which blog platform
you're working with? I'm planning to start my own blog soon but I'm having a tough time selecting between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your layout seems different then most blogs and I'm looking for something completely unique.

P.S Sorry for getting off-topic but I had to ask!

I seldom leave a response, but i did some searching and wound up here "Damian 'Junior Gong' Marley - Reggae Artiste".
And I do have a couple of questions for you if it's allright. Could it be just me or does it look like a few of the remarks look like written by brain dead individuals? :-P And, if you are posting at additional places, I'd like to keep up with
anything fresh you have to post. Could you list of the complete urls of your community
pages like your twitter feed, Facebook page or linkedin profile?
