There is something special about having one on one time with one of the children of Bob Marley.

It was only over the phone, and yet it felt like he was next door.

As we enter our sixth year of Streaming Top Shelf Reggae Music at Big Reggae Mix, it is Julian Marley, who reminds me of why I have so much passion for music and why music plays such a significant role in my life.

Julian Marley went through a profound, deeply emotional spiritual shift when his Dad died of cancer.

Why was it so profound?

Julian Marley is a Rastafarian, and during our 30 minutes together on the phone, he hid nothing from me.

The chills down my spine were real as Julian Marley admitted that he experienced his Father's death, not once but twice. 

Julian openly stated that living through his 11-year-old daughter's passing to the other side felt like Bob Marley dying all over again.

Over the next several weeks, I will be sharing with you some of the most significant shifts in Julian's life.

May these blog postings, audio clips, photographs and heartfelt disclosures inspire the passion within you to be the best person that You can Be!
