Damian Robert Nesta Marley, also known around the world as “Junior Gong” and more recently as “Gongzilla” was born in 1978 to parents Bob Marley and Cindy Breakspeare, Miss World 1976.  As a young adult, he developed a passion and a gift to speak for those who cannot always speak for themselves. A self-proclaimed ‘Spiritual Revolutionary’, Damian has worked assiduously to carve his own niche in music history and to add a new perspective to the Marley legacy for the 21st century. 

At the age of 13, Damian began performing in a group called “The Shepherds” which comprised of Shiah Coore (son of Third World guitarist Cat Coore) and currently a member of his band, and Yashema Beth McGreggor, daughter of reggae singers Freddie Mcgreggor and Judy Mowatt and then began touring with his brothers, Stephen, Ky-mani, Julian and Ziggy. 

By 1996, Damian had already made his stamp as a different kind of Marley when he released his first solo album “Mr. Marley”, a heavily dancehall-influenced album produced by his brother Stephen Marley.  His second album “Halfway Tree” was released in 2001 by a major record label and showcased Damian’s unique gift for blending dancehall, reggae and hip-hop styles.  This album won Damian much recognition and remained on the Billboard Top Reggae Album Charts for 158 weeks and earned him his first Grammy for Best Reggae Album in 2002. 
While honored by this recognition by the global music fraternity, Damian continued to work in the studio, laying the groundwork for the tracks that would become his highly anticipated album, “Welcome To Jamrock”. The lyrics in this album presented Marley as a true spiritual revolutionary, as he used his talent to evoke a spiritual change while trying to enforce a better way of thinking.  He is described as “rhyming with the conviction of a street preacher with the intellect of a university economist”.  

Damian’s hit single “Welcome to Jamrock” was listed as one of the Top 100 Songs of the Decade by Rolling Stone, and at the 2006 Grammy Awards, he won Best Reggae Album and Best Urban/Alternative Performance for Welcome to Jamrock. Damian is the only Jamaican reggae artist in history to win two Grammy Awards on the same night. He is also the only reggae artist to win in the Best Urban/Alternative Performance category at the Grammy Awards. The New York Times called Welcome to Jamrock the “best reggae song of the decade.” 
Welcome to Jamrock led the pathway to Damian’s critically acclaimed collaboration with Nas for 2010’s much lauded album “Distant Relatives” – a project which explored the relationships between reggae, hip-hop and Africa. The album title refers not only to the bond between the artists, but the connection to their African ancestry, which inspired the album both musically and lyrically. USA Today referred to the album as a “potent and often provocative collaboration” and by Rolling Stone as “an Afrocentric winner.” The album debuted at Number 5 on the Billboard Top 200 Album Chart and Number 1 on the R&B/Hip-Hop Albums, Rap Albums and Reggae Albums charts, with Billboard heralding the album as “a dynamic hybrid.”    

The Distant Relatives Tour kicked off in 2011 and saw Damian traveling and performing for thousands of fans all over the world, including South America, Europe, The United Kingdom, The Caribbean and North America.  

Damian continued to cross musical boundaries in 2012, as he went on to partner with Skrillex for their groundbreaking track “Make It Bun Dem”, which Rolling Stone called “a monster mash up of dubstep and dancehall” and has led to several remixes of the original version.  Damian recently released two other singles; “Set Up Shop” and  “Affairs of the Heart” which both received widespread airplay. 

Damian continues to tour with his band all over the world as a way of entertaining and healing as he continues to spread the message for those whose voices cannot be heard. He is working with his brothers Stephen and Julian under their Ghetto Youths International Label, to discover, develop and sign gifted artistes by applying their musical talent and vast experience to create new and different styles of music.  

Damian is currently in the studio working on his upcoming solo album.

The Atlanta-based deejay keeps his stamp-littered passport and bags ready for wherever his next tour takes him across the U.S. or around the world. Since his early days on the 1s and 2s, he’s spun in over 30 countries, visiting nearly every continent.
With his signature braids and Cali swag, Era has flexed on the turntables at iconic arenas, stadiums, concerts, clubs and world-renowned music festivals. He’s known to make guest appearances on TV and is no stranger to the airwaves, firing up iHeart’s WRDG 105.3 The Beat in Atlanta, GA, and formerly Sirius XM Shade 45 as a mix DJ.
He’s toured with a roster of artists including King of Crunk legend Lil Jon, British songstress-songwriter Marsha Ambrosius, R&B crooner Maxwell, August Alsina, Usher, Chris Brown, 2 Chainz, Pusha T, Teyana Taylor, Ty Dolla $ign, and has shared the stage with the late Nipsey Hussle, Lil Uzi Vert, Da Baby, Monica, Lloyd, Eric Bellinger, Rotimi, J. Holiday, Sammie, and more.
Era’s career success has landed him on the pages of Forbes, The Source, and Rolling Out.
A member of the DJ crew Young California, Era, an L.A. native with roots now in the ATL, considers himself the glue that brings together the cultures of the South and the West Coast – two music capitals. He does so through the introduction of new music, connecting artists, following fashion trends and keeping current with urban lifestyles.
Born Kevin Cox, Era’s early music passion and influences include Michael Jackson, 2Pac, Biggie Smalls and the Dr. Dre/Snoop Dogg Death Row era. He credits Lil’ Jon and the dirty south “crunk” movement as the reason he moved to the ATL.
He attended Morehouse College in the Peach State where he first learned to deejay, using his freshman year financial aid to buy his first set of turntables. And yet he still managed to graduate cum laude with a B.A. in business administration. Despite a few early doubters, Era set his sights on a career in music as a tour deejay.
Shortly after graduating, he got his first big break touring with rapper Yung Joc entertaining U.S. service men and women at military installations in Europe.
And he’s never looked back.
