Subsequent albums included the Grammy-winning One Bright Day (1989), Jahmekya (1991), Joy and Blues (1993), Free Like We Want 2 B (1995), their third Grammy winner Fallen Is Babylon  (1997), The Spirit of Music (1999) and Ziggy Marley & the Melody Makers Live, Vol. 1 (2000), which featured some of their biggest hits as well as a cover of Bob Marley?s ?Could You Be Loved.? While selling records by the millions and selling out countless concerts with the Melody Makers, including a recent European tour, Ziggy Marley has never lost sight of his foundation of faith, fellowship and family.

After two decades as the driving creative force behind The Melody Makers ? a triple Grammy-winning act which includes his brother Stephen and two sisters Sharon and Cedella ? Ziggy Marley stepped out on his own with his first solo album. Dragonfly was released on April 15th (2003) by Private Music.

Never content to rehash the success of his past, Ziggy used Dragonfly to explore new ground and create his own distinctive musical identity as a solo artist. ?Working on my own gave me a chance to take my time and experiment a lot,? says Ziggy. ?It took one year to finish this record ? it?s the longest I?ve ever worked on one album. It?s different when you?re on your own. At some point it?s scary, and then at another it?s a drive
that makes you focus more.?

Ziggy also felt it was time for a change of scene. He wrote the album?s songs in Jamaica but recorded them in Miami and Los Angeles. ?As an artist I need to experience different things, to see the world and have different energies. It helps me grow as a person to be outside my element.?

Ziggy provided his voice for the Rasta jellyfish that appears in the 2004 animated film Shark Tale. He also collaborated with Sean Paul on a cover of his father's song "Three Little Birds" for the soundtrack.

Ziggy also sang the theme song for the popular PBS children's show "Arthur". In addition to his work in 2004 he also decided to marry a VP at William Morris Agency, with whom he has a daughter.

In 2006 he released Love Is My Religion. In November 2007, Ziggy Marley announced the re-release of his Grammy-winning album Love Is My Religion, including three bonus tracks as well as an independent distribution deal. In a bold move, Marley eschewed the traditional record industry formula and big name labels, instead penning a distribution deal between Tuff Gong Worldwide and Ryko Distribution.

Love Is My Religion was originally released in the US exclusively at Target Stores and was rerreleasednow in 2007 with additional material including live recordings of Jammin, Dragonfly, and Look Who's Dancin'. These live tracks were recorded at Los Angeles' Avalon during the 2006 Love Is My Religion world tour.

In addition to his skills as a singer, songwriter and producer, Ziggy founded U.R.G.E. (Unlimited Resources Giving Enlightenment), a non-profit organization that benefits a wide range of charitable children's causes in Jamaica, Ethiopia and other developing nations. More recently he has lent his support to the Youth AIDS campaign.
