Zion Marley is carving out his place in the music world. With a deep respect for his family’s roots and a passion for sharing meaningful messages, Zion is preparing to release his debut album, “From Zion,” in 2025. The album title pays homage to both his heritage and his spiritual journey of self-discovery.

“From Zion is kind of like a response to my mother’s song, ‘To Zion,’ but it’s also literal — it’s from me,” Zion explained. “It represents understanding that where you want to go, you already are. It’s about recognizing the holy city within yourself and sharing that truth with others.”

He is the eldest son of legendary musicians Lauryn Hill and Rohan Marley.

A Legacy of Purpose

For Marley, staying true to his family’s mission of spreading awareness and love through music is central to his artistry. “My grandfather, Bob Marley, came with a purpose, and I understand I’m an extension of that tree,” he said. “I’m a branch, ensuring that his message continues through me.”

This dedication shines through in his upcoming singles, “Stay” and “In the Sky.” The first, “Stay,” explores themes of oppression and liberation, encouraging listeners to rise above limiting mindsets. “It’s about exiting a state of mind that keeps us in cycles we were never meant to remain in,” he shared. Zion previewed an acoustic version of “Stay” on the Radar, receiving praise for its raw and powerful message.

“In the Sky,” another track from his forthcoming album, continues the Marley tradition of blending cultural consciousness with musical innovation. These singles set the stage for a full album that he describes as “bringing back the roots culture to the people.”

Looking Ahead

As 2025 approaches, he focuses on finalizing his album and building fan anticipation. With a clear vision and a deep connection to his roots, he promises a body of work that will inspire and uplift. “It’s all up to the Most High,” he said of his future endeavors. “But know that it’s coming.”

For updates, Zion invites fans to follow him on Instagram at @ziondmarley, where he shares insights into his journey personally.

With his debut album on the horizon and growing dedication to his craft, Zion Marley is poised to continue the legacy of his legendary family while making his unique mark on the world.
