Navigating Bob Marley’s Extensive Family: A Comprehensive Guide
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.”
