Jo Mersa Marley is descended from a rich history of Jamaican reggae roots and grew up surrounded by music. By the time he was four, Jo was appearing onstage alongside his father, uncle Ziggy and aunts Cedella and Sharon (a.k.a. Ziggy Marley and The Melody Makers) and their children as part of the group’s rousing concert finales, with Jo often taking the mic and chanting the lyrics to the Melody Makers’ biggest songs. Born in Kingston, Jamaica on March 12, 1991, he moved to Miami at age 11 where he keenly observed his father and his uncle Damian as they created music in Stephen’s Lion’s Den studio. The artist is currently promoting is latest release, the Comfortable EP.

Suárez, originally from La Habana, Cuba, has been generating a buzz throughout Latin America and Europe with her soulful voice, razor sharp lyrics, and innovative musical style.  Performing since the early age of 15, Danay formed part of Havana Cultura series collaborating with various artists throughout the years and has performed in Europe cities such as London, Paris, Amsterdam, Berlin, and Istanbul and in Latin America, Mexico, Panama and Colombia. She’s released Polvo de la Humedad in 2008, Havana CulturaEP in 2010, and will issue Palabras Manuales in early 2016.
