NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE via COLLEGIATE PRESSWIRE)--Apr 7, 2005--Four-time Grammy winner, Stephen Marley, takes to the microphone for the first time as a solo artist with the June 7 release of ''GOT MUSIC?'' on Ghetto Youths/Tuff Gong/Universal Records.
Son of legendary Bob Marley, Stephen has already worn several hats in the music industry - producer, songwriter and singer. He entered the music scene as a singer/musician at the tender age of 16 as a member of the family`s group, Ziggy Marley and the Melody Makers. Stephen has collaborate vocally with such artists as Erykah Badu, but has spent most of his music career behind the scenes producing projects for other family members, as well as the critically acclaimed ''CHANT DOWN BABYLON,'' which was RIAA Certified Gold.
