\tJoseph \u201cJo Mersa\u201d Marley, son of Stephen Marley and grandson of Bob Marley, has died. He was 31.<\/p>\n

\n

\tA representative for the late reggae artist confirmed the news to Rolling Stone on December 27. Details of the cause of death are unclear at this moment.<\/p>\n

\n

\tMarley was born on March 12, 1991, in Kingston, Jamaica. He made his debut with \u201cMy Girl\u201d in 2010 where he collaborated with his cousin Daniel Bambaata Marley. In 2012 he released \u201cBad So\u201d which was included in his EP titled \u201cComfortable\u201d in 2014. His debut album titled \u201cEternal\u201d would drop in 2021.<\/p>\n

\n

\tIn an interview with Rolling Stone, Marley talked about growing up surrounded by a family of musicians saying, \u201cIt was a very magical thing, seeing those people come around to the house and how the whole work process would happen. I would come home and try to do homework, but I’d end up getting distracted and go peek in the studio. You would always want to run in and run out to see what was going on.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

\tDespite his grandfather being a legend in music, Jo Mersa was determined to pave his own road in the industry.<\/p>\n

\n

\t\u201cI am one of the new generation of Marleys, but I am still experimenting at the same time,\u201d he added \u201cMy plan is to do something new with my roots.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
