The New Zealand Herald - Oct 04 9:25 AM One Million Dollars are the people's band when they play live. With 11 members pumping out music to party and dance to, it's got to be good for you. But on record they're not for everyone. At times their mix of funk and soul lacks a meanness - a few killer blows to give it impact.

Damian marley
A publicity photo of Damian.
Damian Marley (born July 21, 1978 in Kingston, Jamaica), is a Grammy-winning reggae artist and is the youngest male child (or 'veteran', as stated in the song "Me Name Jr. Gong") of reggae legend Bob Marley, and the only child born to Marley and Cindy Breakspeare, Miss World 1976. Damian's nickname is Junior Gong which is derived from his father's nickname of Tuff Gong. Damian has been performing since the age of 13. He shares with most of the Marley family a full-time career in music. Unlike his brothers and sisters, however, his musical specialty is "DeeJaying", the Jamaican style of "rapping".
As of 2006, he has released three albums. His first, Mr. Marley in 1996, his second, Halfway Tree in 2001, and his third, Welcome To Jamrock in September 2005. Halfway Tree was the 2002 recipient of the Grammy Award for Best Reggae Album."Welcome to Jamrock" won two Grammys in 2006. Damian frequently tours with his brothers Julian and Stephen, who are both members of the Ghetto Youths Crew.
In the summer of 2004 Damian participated in the 27-city Bob Marley Roots, Rock, Reggae Festival Tour with his four brothers, Ziggy, Julian, Stephen and Ky-Mani, each of whom have their own professional recording careers.
In 2004 Damian recorded a song with hip hop group Cypress Hill called 'Ganja Bus' on their album Till Death Do Us Part.
Damian 'Junior Gong' Marley 2006 by Radek
Damian has many records, including the highest placed reggae album in the USA billboard album charts with Welcome to Jamrock, and the highest placed reggae song in the UK Top 40 with his single of the same name.
At the 2006 Grammy Awards he won Best Reggae Album for Welcome to Jamrock and Best Urban/Alternative Performance for the song "Welcome to Jamrock".
In June of 2006, Marley peformed at Bonnaroo Music Festival, the premier music festival of America.
In July 2006 Damian should have played at the Danish music festival Roskilde Festival, however he had to cancel due to troubles with customs.[1]
On September 19, 2006 Marley became the first reggae artist to perform for the popular PBS show Austin City Limits.
Like his father before him and the rest of the Marley family, he is a Rastafarian and his music reflects both his beliefs and the Rastafarian guiding principles of one love, one planet, and freedom for all. While he travels and tours the better part of the year, his home base is split between Kingston, Jamaica and Miami, Florida.
Damian participated in Season 3 of Extreme Makeover Home Edition by performing a special concert for the Rainford family, whose father Dunstin is a Jamaican native.
