Ziggy Marley comes from a prolific musical family.

The eldest son of Bob Marley and Rita Marley is a musician, author and humanitarian — and his own family is following in his creative footsteps. Marley’s seven children have collaborated with him on his work and inspired it.

He shares his two eldest kids, son Bambaata and daughter Justice, with Lorraine Bogle. In 1995, he welcomed daughter Zuri with Carlene Samuels. Nearly a decade later, Marley married talent agent Orly Agai, and they have since welcomed four children: daughter Judah and sons Gideon, Abraham and Isaiah.

In 2016, Marley spoke to PEOPLE about blending his Jamaican roots with Orly's Middle Eastern traditions when raising their children. “Within my culture, there’s a lot of spirituality, philosophies, ideas — love, humility, respecting each other,” he explained. “From her side, it’s family: There’s a connectivity there, the bonds of family are very important on her side. It’s a good balance of philosophies, ideas from my side and practical living from her side with family.”

A few years later, Marley's family posed for an UGG ad campaign, which included a $50,000 donation to charity. "My family has a tradition of giving and loving and caring, so this is just who we are and it's not something that we ever passed down," Marley told PEOPLE in 2019. "It's just something that we really live and then the children see the living and it gets passed down through the living not through just giving, so it's a part of who we are."

Marley's role as a father has also inspired him to write several children's books and a cookbook. The musician released two children's books in 2021, inspired by the family's time together during the COVID-19 lockdown.

"It is important that children coming up be able to be themselves and to not be afraid of that," he told PEOPLE in 2021. "Also, to understand that the people who truly love them will accept them for who they are. I think it's important that kids understand that message."

And just like Marley has done for decades, his children are also carrying on the legacy of their late grandfather. In February 2024, several members of Bob's family, including a few of Marley's older children, attended the premiere of the late reggae icon's biopic Bob Marley: One Love.
