Stephen Robert Nesta "Raggamuffin" Marley (April 20, 1972) is a Jamaican American musician and the son of reggae legend Bob Marley and his wife Rita Marley. He is a five-time Grammy award winner as an artist, producer, and member of Ziggy Marley & The Melody Makers.
Marley was born in Wilmington, Delaware and raised primarily in Kingston, Jamaica. He was part of the reggae group Ziggy Marley & The Melody Makers with his siblings Ziggy, Cedella, and Sharon. In 1980, at age 8, Stephen took lead vocals on "Sugar Pie", which he also performed live at the 1982 Jamaica World Music Festival in Montego Bay. In 1985 Stephen was featured on a 12" single titled "Jah Is The Healing" (reverse side to "Naah Leggo", a Tuff Gong Jamaican release), and again on "Lord We A Come" from the 1986 Melody Makers release Hey World.
Stephen produced much of his brother Damian Marley's three solo albums, most notably 2005's Welcome to Jamrock, where he was performed on the tracks "All Night," "Pimpa's Paradise," "For the Babies," and "Hey Girl." He also produced for brother Julian Marley, and executive produced and performed on the 1999 Bob Marley mash-up "Chant Down Babylon".
In 2003, Stephen and Damian put together an album called Educated Fools under the group name of Marley Boyz. They recorded it on labels Ghetto Youths International and Tuff Gong International, collaborating with a number of other reggae artists including their brother Ky-Mani Marley.
His debut album Mind Control was released 20 March 2007.
On November 16, 2010, Marley released a new single, "Jah Army", featuring his brother, Damian "Junior Gong" Marley.
