KINGSTON, Jamaica – Soul-Rebel Marley, the brother of Grammy nominated recording artiste Skip Marley, and son of Grammy winning vocalist and philanthropist Cedella Marley, makes his musical debut with the song Loving Jah, a track inspired by his grandfather Bob Marley’s 1980 hit Forever Loving Jah.

Loving Jah is set for release on Thursday, February 13 via Soul Rebel’s very own Tek Time Productions and Tuff Gong International.

Marley was destined for a career in music.

His mother was a member of the platinum selling Grammy nominated group Ziggy Marley & the Melody Makers, while brother Skip, who topped the Billboard Adult R&B Airplay chart in 2021 with Slow Down, is currently charting on the Billboard Rhythmic Airplay Top 40 chart with the NAACP Image Award nominated single Close.

“From inside the womb to outside the womb, everything just been the whole time, music, music, music,” said Soul-Rebel, a multi-instrumentalist who has been playing piano since the age of six. He has previously produced tracks for his cousin, Jo Mersa Marley, and his aunt, Sharon Marley.

The release of Loving Jah is accompanied by an official lyric video that features Soul-Rebel Marley’s image over the historic Rock-Hewn Churches of Lalibela in Ethiopia.

Soul-Rebel Marley is building on a legacy of ingenuity. His inclination towards music is the product of having a firm grasp on reggae’s foundational aural principles, while looking towards other sonic landscapes to not only enhance output, but to create a defined and unique sound. Raised in an environment that encouraged musical dexterity, his experiences as a self-taught musician and producer coalesced into the creation of his debut single.

While in the studio with Skip, the opening line of a song Hail up the King of Kings/We forever loving Jah” — came to Soul. He quickly documented it on voice note. Though he hadn’t formally recorded anything prior, he revisited the lyrics, made an acapella version and produced around it.

Loving Jah now emerges as Soul-Rebel Marley’s debut, taking cues from his grandfather’s 1980 classic, Forever Loving Jah. The result is a motivational and empowering sound that elevates the sound of traditional reggae by fusing it with elements of dancehall and hip hop.
