About Me

Damian "Jr. Gong" Marley can not, he says, ever remember not performing. Born in 1978 to Bob and Jamaica's former Miss World, Cindy Breakspeare, Damian seems to have been destined for the stage. The youngest of Bob's children, he grew up in the intensely musical atmosphere of his father's Hope Road home. By the age of 13 he had formed a band with the son of Cat Coore from Third World. Calling themselves the Shepherds, the group performed at local venues before taking their act to such big-time events as Reggae Bash '92 and the Sunsplash '92 Bob Marley Tribute. He played the Sting show the same year, then in 1993 played at Sunsplash and toured with the Shabba Ranks World Unity Tour.Recently Damian has been performing on the same bill with his brother Julian. In 1996 they opened for Ziggy and the Melody Makers, a tour which took them throughout the U.S., Central and South America. His debut album, "Mr. Marley", features the production skills of brother Stephen, and was one of the first projects conceived by the Ghetto Youth International production label.Released in September 1996, it drew acclaim from both the reggae massive and followers of urban hip-hop culture. Recorded at the newly renovated Marley Music Studio at 56 Hope Road, "Mr. Marley" showcases his unique deejaying style over both "new school" and roots rhythms. A powerful voice for the next generation, Damian has always been closely attuned to the contemporary sounds of Jamaica. As Jr. Gong, he seems more than likely to make that sound heard well beyond the island of his birth. Now he has become worldwide with the release of his hit single " Welcome to Jamrock", and album also called " Welcome to Jamrock". Theirs no stopping this marley! changing the background of your pageHow do i change the background of my page?originally contributed by: Logan Sakaichanging your background can be either easy or a little tricky, depending on how you want your background to act. the way i do it is by using cascading style sheets (CSS) because it allows greater flexibility over the standard tag. to change the color, you will need to consult a color chart(SEE ADDITIONAL RESOURCES SECTION). simply type the six-digit color code where it says 'color_code'. all these should be in the 'about me' section of your profile.first start out with this code. you will need to use this, or else your background wont show up. this gets rid of all current table styling:
