The son of reggae legend Bob Marley and Lucy Pounder, Julian Marley's music in part carries the torch that continues the legacy of the Marley name. Twenty years ago, Julian became involved in Ziggy and Stephen Marley's production company Ghetto Youth International. Stephen later executive produced Julian's debut album Lion in the Morning, released by Tuff Gong in 1996. In 2003, Julian released A Time & Place and then in 2009 he released Awake, which features tracks with brothers Stephen and Damian.

Javaughn is considered a child prodigy in Reggae music, so much so that he has been fondly labeled as “Javaughn Genius.”

Although in his early teens, Javaughn already masters three instruments (keyboards, drums and bass guitar), has years of stage experience (both locally and internationally), and is armed with the resounding vocals and sound confidence that have landed him a record deal with the Marley’s Tuff Gong/ Ghetto Youths Label.
