Julian Marley " Natural Mistic " Live Africa Festival (2011) JULIAN MARLEY – Awake – Part One
ulian Marley, son of reggae legend Bob Marley and Barbados-born Lucy Pounder is a Grammy award nominated, roots-reggae musician, singer-songwriter, producer and humanitarian.In the same tradition as his father, Julian "Ju Ju" Marley is a devout Rastafarian whose music is inspired by life and spirituality.

Born in London, England on June 4, 1975, Julian is the only son of Bob Marley born and raised in the U.K. Having been raised in England by his mother, Julian frequently visited his family and brothers Ziggy, Stephen, Damian and Kymani in Jamaica. Growing up as a youth in a musical atmosphere Julian quickly adopted a musical lifestyle and at an early age and became a skillful, self-taught musician mastering the bass, drums, guitar and keyboards. By the tender age of five, Marley recorded his first demo at the Marley family home in Kingston, Jamaica. Julian reflects, "From a small age music has been in my life, it was just a natural thing."

During Julian's formative years in Jamaica, he began to study under legendary reggae veterans such as Aston "Family Man" Barrett, Carlton Barrett, Earl "Wire" Lindo, Tyrone Downie and Earl "Chinna" Smith, all of whom inspired the then fledgling song-bird. In 1987 when influential Wailers drummer Carlton Barrett was murdered outside of his home in Jamaica , Julian wrote two un-released songs , 'Uprising' and 'What They Did Wrong' in response to the incident. Subsequently he also formed a band called The Uprising, a roots-reggae band comprised of young Jamaican players. Julian and the Uprising would go on to open up for his brother Ziggy Marley's band, The Melody Makers and performed with The Wailers which at one time included Carlton Barrett's son on drums.

In 1993, Julian decided to move to Jamaica to be closer to his brothers, and from that point on the gifted Marley brothers began to form their musical path. Julian, Stephen and Damian called on their brother Kymani Marley and the foursome formed a group called the Ghetto Youths Crew, a project that would find Julian touring the United States with his brothers for three consecutive years. Julian comments, "I give thanks for the musical guidance I received from my father and continue to receive from my brothers. It is with the inspiration of my family and the Most High that I create all of my songs today."

In 1996, Julian released his debut entitled, Lion in the Morning, which launched him into the public eye. The album was a conscious effort and culmination of his musical development to date, and reflected Julian's growing maturity and musical sophistication. Recorded at Tuff Gong studios in Kingston, Jamaica and the newly renovated Marley Music studio at Hope Road (the same studio where his father created some of his most important and well-known work) Lion in the Morning is Julian's own testament that clearly reflects his roots and heritage. Produced by Aston "Family Man" Barrett and Stephen Marley, the album additionally features contribution rolls from reggae luminaries such as Owen "Dreddie" Reid, Earl Chinna Smith, Tyrone Downie, and Julian's siblings Stephen Marley, Cedella Marley and Sharon Marley. The record was followed by a successful international tour with The Uprising, which included Jamaica's Sumfest and Sunsplash shows, a Marley Magic family performance during New York City's Central Park Summer Stage Concert Series, and touring into the territories of Japan, Brazil and Mexico. That year, Julian also began to tour extensively with his brother Damian, and the duo landed a featured artist position on the 1997 Lollapalooza tour.

In 1998, Julian contributed a vast range of musical elements to singer Lauryn Hill's Grammy Award winning album, The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, which was recorded at Tuff Gong studio's in Jamaica, including playing guitar on the single, "Forgive Them Father".

In 1999 , Julian went back to work in the studio with his brothers Stephen and Damian , and contributed to the production of the platinum-selling Chant Down Babylon, a remix album by various hip-hop and rock artists covering Bob Marley & The Wailers songs, produced by Stephen Marley.

While Julian's childhood was equally split between England and Jamaica, his early adult years would find "Ju Ju" settling back into London and additionally creating a home base in Miami where the family owned studio, the Lion's Den is based. Though Jamaican at heart Julian has widely credited his British upbringing as a deep influence on his musical career. Julian reflects, "Growing up in London remains a large part of who I am today. I feel privileged to be a part of the musical roots that my father laid in England. As the next generation of British-born reggae artists, I look forward to relating the cultural gifts and musical creations that have been bestowed on to me back onto the international music scene."

In 2002, Julian and his brothers Stephen and Damian officially incorporated Ghetto Youths International, Inc., the family owned record label that was first founded by Ziggy Marley and Stephen Marley in 1989. The label allows the brothers to work closely with each other on musical collaborations. The Marley brothers also produce and release a catalogue of works featuring various artists for the Ghetto Youths imprint, including their own material, a venture that has successfully carried on the Marley tradition of communicating music to a global audience.

In 2003, Julian joined his siblings Stephen, Cedella, Damian, and Kymani to contribute a version of the single, 'Master Blaster' for Stevie Wonder's tribute album entitled, Conception: An Interpretation of Stevie Wonder Songs. That same year, Marley also recorded his sophomore effort entitled, A Time and Place at the Lion's Den in Miami. An organic fusion of rootical reggae and jazz, A Time and Place was produced by brother Stephen Marley, and the album cemented Julian's next milestone on his artistic path. Each track on the album was built on a solid foundation of traditional reggae, but contained a wide range influences which showcased Julian's love for music. After several years of touring with Ziggy Marley and the Melody Makers, the Ghetto Youths Crew, and his brother Damian "Jr. Gong" Marley, Julian had created a worldwide fan base for himself. Now, with the release of his sophomore album, Julian embarked on his own world tour that was backed by his band The Uprising, and circled Europe and the United States two times in support of A Time and Place.

In 2004, the Roots Rock Reggae Festival in the United States gave Julian the opportunity to unite and perform with all of the Marley brothers. Julian along with the Marley family also went on to perform a series of family 'Africa Unite' performances, including in Ethiopia in 2005, in Ghana in 2006, and in Jamaica in 2008. At the invitation of the Jamaican government, Julian Marley and The Uprising performed during the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, China, and celebrated along-side Jamaica's Gold medal-winning runner, Usain Bolt.

In 2009, Julian Marley's career rose to new heights with the success of his Grammy Award Nominated release entitled, Awake released on Ghetto Youths / Universal Music Group on April 28, 2009. The thought-provoking album was co-produced with his brothers Stephen Marley and Damian "Jr. Gong" Marley and recorded at the Lion's Den in Miami and the Tuff Gong studio's in Kingston, Jamaica. This album was inspired by Julian's life and spirituality and skillfully weaves diverse musical styles into a set of hypnotic beats and soulful vocals. The music and message presented throughout Awake was inspired by all the family who have come before. Julian explains, "There is spiritual energy from the ancestors in this album."

As with the other Marley's, Awake blends R&B, hip hop, dancehall and of course the roots reggae that his father made famous around the world. The album's first single, 'Boom Draw', is a blend of classic roots and modern dancehall. Julian's brothers also appear on the album, with Stephen Marley collaborating on 'A Little Too Late' and Damian "Jr. Gong" Marley contributing his talents to 'Violence in the Streets'. Another track, 'Oh Girl', features vocals by rapper Mr. Cheeks and Marcia Griffiths, a former Wailers backing vocalist and reggae star in her own right, also contributes background vocals to the album.

Julian's 'Awake' world tour with his band The Uprising flourished in 2009, and stemmed into a major North American, Caribbean and European run that included the Raggamuffin 2010 tour of Australia and New Zealand. In May 2010, Awake took home the award for 'Best Album of the Year' at the International Reggae and World Music Awards (IRAWMA) in New York City. Marley's tour with The Uprising continually expanded in 2010, and performance dates found the reggae singer-songwriter circling Europe, and scheduling back to back headlining performances in the U.K., Greece and South America.

A humanitarian at heart, Julian Marley naturally leans toward building on charitable missions and contributing to the Ghetto Youths Foundation, which in the spirit of his father Bob Marley, allows the socially conscious Marley to give back to youths in various communities. Whether it's reasoning with children at the football fields in London, or offering his time to benefit concerts, Julian consciously looks towards finding ways to help build positive guidance that benefit children .

In February, 2010 Julian and his brother Kymani Marley, along side the Ghetto Youths Foundation produced a 'Miami For Haiti' benefit show with all proceeds going to various charities aimed toward Haitian relief efforts. Julian urges, "If we have the time, if we have the resources, we must rise to the occasion to help our brothers and sisters in every way possible."

Julian Marley ranks higher in the consciousness movement of music than most reggae artists recognized today. And while Julian has built a formidable reputation by transcending musical genres, we can be sure that whatever ventures he will embark on in 2011, Julian "Ju Ju" Marley will remain a spiritual, moral, musical visionary with an international mission. Julian enthused, "I don't plan the next step, I just continue on with Jah Works and somehow things seem to just come together naturally that way."

The first three quarters of 2009 saw 466 M&A transactions worth $ 16.4 billion announced across the media, information, marketing services and technology sectors, as tracked by The Jordan, Edmiston Group, Inc. (JEGI) (http://www.jegi.com), the leading independent investment bank specializing in acquisitions and divestitures across these core markets. Two markets actually saw growth in M&A activity in 2009 over 2008 the Mobile and Education sectors.

Overall transaction volume fell 30%, while deal value declined 42% through the third quarter, versus the same period of 2008. While the number of announced deals is on par with 2005-2006 levels, total deal value is on pace with 2002-2003 levels.

Strategic Company Acquirers Lead Strong Uptick in Q3 M&A Activity

While the first two quarters of the year were moribund, the M&A market showed signs of life in Q3 with 168 announced transactions valued at $ 11.1 billion. By comparison, the entire first half of the year saw only $ 5.3 billion in deal value, with a high concentration of small distressed sales. This resurgence was driven by over a dozen $ 100+ million and $ 1+ billion transactions, which drove average deal size from $ 18 million in the first half of the year to $ 66 million in Q3.

Education Information, Technology and Training deals increased by 15% in number and 41% in value to $ 3.2 billion, as this sector benefits from innovation, government spending and some shelter from the economic cycle. Meanwhile, the Mobile Media & Technology sector saw 25 transactions worth just under $ 400 million, up 56% in number and 76% in value from 2008, as this long-expected market begins to accelerate.

Strategic buyers accounted for roughly 80% of total deal value through Q3, as they took advantage of better-priced opportunities and invested in innovative business models, new growth and integrated solutions. Private equity firms have played only a minor role in acquisitions so far this year, as many have been focused on improving profitability and restructuring debt in overleveraged portfolios.

Re-Heating Sectors Drive M&A

The most active M&A markets covered by JEGI have been Education Information, Technology & Training; Marketing & Interactive Services; Mobile Media & Technology; and Online Media & Technology. Together, these four sectors accounted for 337 deals or 72% of the transactions announced and 87% of deal value ($ 14.2 billion) in the first three quarters.

Given strong growth forecasts for online advertising in the years ahead, interactive and mobile categories continue to see active M&A.

According to Rob Norman, CEO, GroupM Interaction, global Internet advertising will climb 11% to $ 64.7 billion in 2010, accounting for 15% of all global measured ad spending, up from a 13% share in 2009. Meanwhile, global mobile advertising is expected to climb 19% to $ 3.3 billion in 2010.

A recent Yankee Group report estimates that nearly seven billion US Smartphone application (app) downloads will generate $ 4.2 billion in revenue by 2013, up from $ 343 million in 2009. With the number of US Smartphone users set to quadruple to 160 million by 2013, Yankee Group describes the anticipated market growth as a gold rush.

Looking Forward

JEGI recently announced two noteworthy transactions: Times Publishings sale of government information provider Congressional Quarterly to The Economist Group; and the sale of Strategic Insight, a provider of news, analysis and information to the mutual fund industry, to Asset International, a portfolio company of Austin Ventures. The firm has a robust pipeline and expects to close several transactions in the final quarter of 2009.

Our nations current agricultural system is oftentimes at odds with the health of the planet and ourselves. Through innovation we have the power and technology to redevelop the way the world feeds its population. In the early 1900s our country was a nation of farmers, all produce and livestock were grown and processed locally out of necessity. Fast forward to today, agribusiness has completely industrialized our food system. Food production is done thousands of miles from the consumer, and often imported from outside of our countrys borders. Hydroponic and aeroponic technologies, like those manufactured by Terra Tech, can be utilized to grow on rooftops in urban settings drastically cutting emissions that result from transportation. Indoor agriculture reduces risk of food borne illness, eliminates the dangers of cross-pollination with GMOs, and maximizes efficiency thus producing a safer product with a small carbon footprint. Limiting food miles also ensures our produce retains the nutrients, enzymes, vitamins, and minerals essential to good health.

Terra Tech offers 5 ways to change the way we view our food ultimately improving the health of our ourselves and our planet.
