Skip Marley – From the Outside Looking In
In music, the name Marley is synonymous with greatness, awareness of humankind, and humbly submitted yet powerful songs that move you in SOME direction; you certainly can’t just sit still that’s for certain. Skip Marley is carrying on the family legacy of delivering meaningful music that reaches into you and ignites your spirit to meditate on things other than self. He delivers music that uplifts and drives you to explore more than just money and wealth or the outer trappings of what can appear to be a fulfilled life. Damn, I guess you can say I’m a fan of the young lion and what he’s doing through music.
We all know you from the legendary Marley family and now you are making your individual mark. From the outside looking in tell us how you see Skip Marley!
