Ziggy Marley on His Father, Frequency & the Spiritual Side of Music

Joel sits down with Ziggy Marley for a grounded, soulful conversation on Artist Friendly. Ziggy was only 12 years old when his father passed, but he's carried the legacy forward — releasing nine solo albums, launching his own label, and producing 2024's Bob Marley: One Love. Ahead of his new album Brightside, Ziggy and Joel go deep on the spiritual side of making music, tuning the record to 432 hertz, writing a love letter to his father, and why finding your own path matters more than imitating anyone else. "We all have a purpose here, so I'm just doing my part," Ziggy tells Joel. "I'm not trying to be the brain if I'm the heart." Watch the full episode on Veeps, or right here on Artist Friendly.
