Ziggy Marley is an eight-time Grammy winner, Emmy winner, musician, producer, activist and humanitarian who has cultivated a legendary career for close to 40 years. The eldest son of Bob and Rita Marley, Ziggy has hewed his own path as a musical pioneer, infusing the reggae genre with funk, blues, rock and other elements through mindful songcraft. Equal parts master storyteller and motivational guide, he deftly explores issues from environmental awareness to self-empowerment, social injustice to political inequity, while returning again and again to the transformative power of love.

Marley's musical roots run deep, providing strength for his growth as an artist. His latest work reflects his role as a father of seven with four young kids at home - More Family Time, a long-anticipated follow-up to his 2009 Grammy-winning album Family Time. In his eighth full-length solo album, Ziggy channels the wild energy and excitement of his youngest child, Isaiah, into musical form. He's joined by all of his school-age kids - Isaiah (4), Abraham (8), Gideon (13) and Judah (15) - as well as his brother Stephen Marley and such diverse friends as Sheryl Crow, Ben Harper, Angelique Kidjo, Lisa Loeb, Tom Morello, Alanis Morissette and Busta Rhymes. The songs are fun for kids, yet sophisticated enough for parents and others, with ten tunes plus a bonus track on the CD, Jamie Lee Curtis reading from her new children's book, Today I Feel Silly.

About the album, Marley says "Children are wonderful people and now more than ever they need our attention and love. These songs, I hope, will bring joy to your family as it does to mine."
