Jo Mersa Marley, the grandson of famed Reggae musician Bob Marley, died recently, as per a report by US-based news portal, The New York Post.
Jo, who was also a reggae musician of Jamaican-American heritage, was found unresponsive in a vehicle, The Post cited a tweet by journalist Abka Fitz-Henley.
The reason for the death of the Hurting Inside singer was confirmed to be an asthma attack, The NY Post cited an Instagram post of South Florida radio station, WZPP.
The Burn It Down singer spent much of his early life in Jamaica. Subsequently, he moved to Florida to attend high school.
He later attended Miami Dade College to study studio engineering, The Post cited Jamaica Observer.
“In all honesty, it depends on the vibe because sometimes you will have a tune or idea, like a whole tune is in your head but no beat, and other times, you have a beat and no tune,” he said. “That’s for me, of course. I can’t speak for everyone. Some songs I am able to finish in a night, and some take longer,” The Post quoted Jo Mersa from an interview with the Jamaica Gleaner.
“My father (Stephen Marley) has created a legacy by putting out songs with meaning, It’s something I have to live up to,” he added.
Jo Mersa is survived by his wife, daughter and sister Mystic Marley, who is also a musician, reads the report.
