Damian’s father, Bob Marley, was a reggae music legend and his mother, Cindy Breakspeare, was a Miss World 1976 winner. Unfortunately, Bob Marley died when Damian was only two years old and after a year his mother remarried to Tom Finson. Damian claims that stepfather was as influential on his life as his real father.
Marley founded a group called the Shepards being thirteen years old. Other group members were also the kids of famous musicians: Freddie McGregor’s daughter and Stephen “Cat” Coore‘s son. In the early 90‘s Damian began his solo career after the split of the group. The first album Mr. Marley was released in 1996 and after about five years the second album Halfway Tree was released. The name of the album is a reflection of Damian‘s parents love story, since his mother was from a rich family and his father was poor before he gained fame, so the halfway tree represents the point between the poor and rich world.
In 2005, Marley released the third album Welcome to Jamrock, which was produced by his brother Stephen. Stephen Marley also helped to release the second album and co-write some songs. The album has been certified gold after selling about five hundred thousand copies only in United States, so it’s not surprising that Damian can associate his net worth to such successful sales of his albums. Welcome to Jamrock gained not only money but also awards and made Damian the first Jamaican reggae musician to win two Grammy Awards in one night (for the Best Reggae Album and the Best Alternative Performance).
Also, co-working with Nas, Marley released another album Distant Relatives in 2010. The title refers to the bond between these two musicians and the link to their African ancestry. More, Damian has released album SuperHeavy in 2011. He has collaborated with a lead vocalist of The Rolling Stones, Mick Jagger, and Dave Stewart and they together formed a group, which has released some singles, inspired by Indian music. Surprisingly, Damian has also co-worked with electronic music artist Skrillex.
In his personal life, Marley has never been married but he has a two years old son Elijah. Damian has also won one more Grammy for the album Halfway Tree and awards, such as MOBO Award and Soul Train Music Award for his other albums, especially, Halfway Tree and Welcome to Jamrock.

After a successful beginning Chris released his debut album called “51/50 Ratchet” in 2007. “51/50 Ratched” debuted at number 24 on the well-known Billboard 200 chart in US, and in the first week 26,000 copies of album were sold. Christopher says it was inspired by South coast hip hop – a sub genre of American hip hop music which was locally popular at Shreveport, where Hurricane grew-up. Soon after releasing his debut album, the young rapper released his third single called “Playas Rock” which was produced by Mr. Collipark. The single peaked at number 47 on the Hot R&B chart and number 25 on Hot Rap Tracks. Two years later, in 2009, the rapper released his second album “Unleashed” in the same Southern hip hop style. “Unleashed” peaked at number 46 on the R&B/Hip-Hop Albums and number 20 on US Top Rap Albums. For the young artist this was a definite success, but this album failed to produce any hits. However, two singles were released from this album – “Headboard” and “Halle Berry (She’s Fine)”. The “Headboard” single featured the voice of famous American rapper and the founder of label “Big Gates Records” Plies and Mario’s voice.
After his second album Hurricane Chris’ career slowed considerably. “Uneashed” didin’t become as popular as Christopher expected, and he started to work on his third studio album entitled “Showtime: Still 51/50” which should be released on the rapper’s own label “51/50 Entertainment” with “FyreHouse Entertainment”. Because of that Chris tried to work with many different producers like the famous American record producer, rapper and songwriter Shawty Redd, also with DJ Spinz, Phunk Dawg, 1500 or Nothin, Mr. Bangladesh, Seven and others. During the interview with hip hop news website AllHipHop.com on May 25, 2010 Chris mentioned he had changed his third album’s title to “Return of the Hurricane”. On January 2 2013 Christopher started to work on his third album’s promotion. A new mixtape called “Caniac” was released and featured the song “Bend It Over”. Also “Caniac has songs “Go Crazy”, “I Don’t F*ck With Yall”, “Pu**y on Me”, “Down South” and “Ball Hard”. The songs were accompanied by music videos.
In 2014 Christopher Hurricane has released one more single, “Ratchet” which was produced by American DJ and record producer Dijon McFarlane, also known as DJ Mustard. “Ratchet” has become the 6th rapper’s single.
