  • 1. St. Ann Parish, Jamaica

  • 2. He was born to Norval and Cedella married in 1945. He spent his early life in a rural community of Nine Miles. The residents of Nine Miles preserved many of the customs from their African ancestry. In keeping with tradition the art of story-telling is a way for them to share the past which are oftertimes overlooked in official historical sources. During Bob's childhood he heard many proverbs and fables that were associated with his rural life, these would provide a deeper cultural context to his songwriting. Quote "Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery; none but ourselves can free our minds." – Bob Marley

  • 3. A childhood friend named Neville “Bunny” O‟Riley Livingston inspired Bob to learn how to play the quitar, and they took vocal classes in the principles of rhythm, harmony and melody. Marley and Livingston devoted much of their time to music and with the guidance of Joe Higgs(reggae musician), Marley worked on improving his singing abilities. Bob met another student of Higgs‟ named Peter Tosh who would play an important role in Marley‟s career. In 1950 Bob moved to Trench Town where he had to learn how to defend himself from the rude boys and bad men. His fighting skills earned him the Respectful nickname „Tuff Gang.‟

  • 4. Trench Town was a culturally rich community where his musical talents were nurtured. Hearing the music over the radio from such artists as Ray Charles, Elvis Presley, Fats Domino and the Drifters, gave Marley inspiration. A lifelong source of inspiration, Bob immortalized Trench Town in his songs "No Woman No Cry" (1974), "Trench Town Rock" (1975) and "Trench Town“. By 1960 the island‟s music industry was beginning to take shape and its development gave birth to an indigenous popular Jamaican music form called “ska.” This is a local interpretation of American soul and R&B, with an irresistible accent on the offbeat.
