Son of Bob Marley Releases Dear Dad

(Ascot) Time Magazine called Bob Marley the Artist of the 20th Century, but to Ky-Mani Marley he is "Dad." The reggae superstar died when Ky-Mani was just 5, but nearly 30 years later, Marley still looms large in his life, as seen in Ky-Mani's new memoir, "Dear Dad" (Farrah Gray Publishing).

"I told my story from my heart and soul. After writing the book and reading over the first edit, I didn't realize some of the stuff I had bottled up inside of me. So this book, for me, became therapy," Ky-Mani said. "If I was to follow in my father's footsteps, then what would they say? 'Oh, he's trying to be like his dad.' Then if I take a different path, they say, 'He's supposed to be like his father.' So you can't please everybody. I just have to be true to myself and true to my art and do what comes naturally to me."

"Dear Dad" is an arresting narrative of a son who was locked out of his iconic father's estate after his death. Ky-Mani and his mother Anita Belnavis left Jamaica for the United States, where he was forced to survive the poverty-stricken, predator-infested streets of one of Miami's most violent ghettos, Liberty City. Ky-Mani was initially estranged from his siblings and cut off from any financial benefit by the Marley estate executor. - more on this story
