A Guide to Bob Marley's Massive Family

Posted by Tobi Tarwater on Friday, July 26, 2024

Born Nov. 23, 1964, and adopted by Bob when he married her mother Rita, Sharon is a singer, dancer and former member of the Grammy-winning sibling quartet Ziggy Marley and the Melody Makers, which also included brother Stephen and sister Cedella.

She's mom to daughter Donisha and sons Inglemar, Matthew and Peter-Shane with ex-husband Peter Prendergast. She married Ghanaian musician Ekow Alabi Savage in May 2014.

Sharon released a cover of her mother's 1991 song "Just One Morning" in 2021, telling Dance Hall Mag about her return to music as a solo artist, "Like Bob had that drive to do his mission, that's what it feels like to me. I'm not finished."

And music remains a family affair, Sharon calling Inglemar her "main songwriter" while Matthew, a graphic artist, designed the vinyl cover of her song "Steppah" and Donisha is her co-director and producer.

"My parents always told us we didn't need to have any friends because they were enough of us as brothers and sisters," Sharon, who's also a grandma, told Foyer in 2024. "So, we grew up very close-knit and that's the way my children are as well."
