 Bob Marley

Bob Marley was born in the village of Nine Mile in Saint Ann Parish, Jamaica as
Nesta Robert Marley.[6] A Jamaican passport official would later swap his first and
middle names.[7] His father, Norval Sinclair Marley, was a white Jamaican of English
descent whose family came from Essex, England. Norval was a captain in the Royal
Marines, as well as a plantation overseer, when he married Cedella Booker, an Afro-
Jamaican then 18 years old.[8] Norval provided financial support for his wife and child,
but seldom saw them, as he was often away on trips. In 1955, when Marley was 10 years
old, his father died of a heart attack at age 60.[9] Marley faced questions about his own
racial identity throughout his life. He once reflected:

I don't have prejudice against meself. My father was a white and my mother was
black. Them call me half-caste or whatever. Me don't dip on nobody's side. Me don't dip
on the black man's side nor the white man's side. Me dip on God's side, the one who
create me and cause me to come from black and white.[10]

Although Marley recognised his mixed ancestry, throughout his life and because
of his beliefs, he self-identified as a black African, following the ideas of Pan-African
leaders such as Marcus Garvey and Haile Selassie. A central theme in Bob Marley's
message was the repatriation of black people to Zion, which in his view was Ethiopia, or
more generally, Africa.[11] In songs such as "Black Survivor", "Babylon System", and
"Blackman Redemption", Marley sings about the struggles of blacks and Africans against
oppression from the West or "Babylon".[12]

Marley became friends with Neville "Bunny" Livingston (later known as Bunny
Wailer), with whom he started to play music. He left school at the age of 14 to make
music with Joe Higgs, a local singer and devout Rastafari. At a jam session with Higgs
and Livingston, Marley met Peter McIntosh (later known as Peter Tosh), who had similar
musical ambitions.[13] In 1962, Marley recorded his first two singles, "Judge Not" and
"One Cup of Coffee", with local music producer Leslie Kong. These songs, released on
the Beverley's label under the pseudonym of Bobby Martell,[14] attracted little attention.
The songs were later re-released on the box set Songs of Freedom, a posthumous
collection of Marley's work.
