Joseph “Jo Mersa” Marley, son of musician Stephen Marley and grandson of reggae icon Bob Marley, has died at age 31, his representative confirmed to Rolling Stone.
A cause of death was not disclosed by the representative. However, South Florida Caribbean radio station WZPP reported that Marley suffered an asthma attack and was found in a vehicle.
Jo was born in Jamaica and moved to Miami when he was 11 years old. Following his father and grandfather’s footsteps, he began writing music in middle school and released his first song, My Girl, as a teen. He was known for songs such as Burn it Down, Made It, and No Way Out.
He released two EPs, Comfortable (2014) and Eternal (2021). In addition, he joined family members on several projects, including his father on Revelation Party, a track from Stephen Marley’s 2016 album Revelation Part 2: The Fruit of Life.
