On February 26, 1976, Ky-Mani Marley, a singer and musician from Jamaica, was born.
He is the only child of Bob Marley and Jamaican table tennis champion Anita Belnavis. His name is derived from East Africa and means “Adventurous Traveler.”
Ky-Mani Marley was born in Falmouth, Jamaica, to champion Jamaican table tennis player Anita Belnavis and reggae legend Bob Marley. Ky-Mani and Belnavis relocated to Miami, Florida when they were nine years old. Ky-Mani was unaware of his musical talent because as a child, sports were his first love.
In 2001, he received a Grammy nomination for his album Many More Roads. When Ky-Mani was a teenager, he began rapping and deejaying. His debut single was “Unnecessary Badness.”
He was inspired to pursue singing when asked to sing the chorus of a song during a recording session at a Miami recording studio. The experimentation with track laying by Ky-Mani and his brothers Stephen, Julian, and Damian soon followed.
How many children does Ky-Mani Marley have?
