It is with a heavy heart we announce the passing of Joseph “Jo Mersa” Marley aged 31, a talented young reggae artist and grandson of the late Bob Marley. Jo Mersa Marley was a musician in his own right, who was surrounded by music from a young age, and even took the stage with his father Stephen Marley, as well as Ziggy Marley and the Melody Makers. “I would come home and try to do homework, but I’d end up getting distracted and go peek in the studio. You would always want to run in and run out to see what was going on.” said Jo Mersa, when speaking about growing up in a musical environment. Jo Mersa Marley will be deeply missed and we would ask that everyone respect the family’s privacy during this devastating time. 🤍
