TUFF GONG <br />
--------- <br />
The Tuff Gong Story...In 1965, decades before artist <br />
owned record labels became commonplace, an unknown <br />
singer/ songwriter named Bob Marley started his own <br />
label Tuff Gong, a name by which he was also known. <br />
In those struggling days Bob and his wife Rita would <br />
sleep in a small room given to them by Rita's aunt <br />
Viola which served as their record shop by day and <br />
their home at night. Endeavoring to get their music <br />
heard Bob and Rita could be seen throughout Kingston <br />
riding their bicycles while carrying their records on <br />
their heads as they went from shop to shop selling <br />
their music. Such inde-pendent vision was unheard of <br />
in Jamaica back in the mid 60's and was a sign of <br />
greater things to come for the young Tuff Gong..... <br />

PRESS RELEASE <br />
------------- <br />
Reggae icon Ziggy Marley releases a full-length live <br />
concert DVD on Feb 12, 2008. The Love Is My Religion <br />
DVD, produced by Live Nation Studios, was taped live <br />
at Los Angeles Avalon Theatre in December 2006. The <br />
most extensive worldwide tour of his career that <br />
wrapped in December 2007, the Avalon show and the <br />
entire LIMR World Tour was heralded as some of <br />
Marleys finest work ever. <br />
<br />
Ziggy appears in rare form throughout the DVD's 19 <br />
tracks and nearly two hours of live footage. With his <br />
voice and his band honed to precision after months on <br />
the road, from the United States and abroad, the live <br />
DVD captures the tours momentum in support of the <br />
Grammy Award-winning album. During the 18 month tour, <br />
Marley visited over one hundred and sixty cities across <br />
the globe and was honored to be the first Reggae artist <br />
to perform in Mainland China. <br />
<br />
Featuring selections from his solo arsenal, as well as <br />
Melody Maker hits and a few of his fathers classics, <br />
Ziggy delivers the show of a lifetime. Cinematography <br />
and production were given the utmost attention, <br />
resulting in vivid imagery combined with stunning sound. <br />
Viewers of the DVD will enjoy a front row seat to the <br />
extravaganza as captured by an eight camera production <br />
taped in widescreen with Dolby Digital 5.1 Audio. <br />
<br />
Ziggy Marley remains true to the independent nature <br />
instilled in him by his legendary father, establishing <br />
himself in recent years as a solo artist and producing <br />
his first independently-released projects on the Tuff <br />
Gong Worldwide label. <br />
<br />
He recently announced the re-release of the Love Is <br />
My Religion album on December 4, 2007 which includes <br />
live bonus recordings of Jammin, Dragonfly, and Look <br />
Whos Dancin from the Avalon show. In a unique <br />
independent distribution deal, Marley eschews the <br />
traditional record industry formula, instead penning <br />
a distribution deal between Tuff Gong Worldwide and <br />
RYKO Distribution. <br />
<br />
Tuff Gong was first founded in 1965 by Bob Marley, <br />
with the vision of producing, distributing, and <br />
promoting his music free from the constraints of <br />
corporate label politics. In a time decades before <br />
artist-owned record labels were commonplace, Marleys <br />
vision was characteristically well ahead of its time. <br />
Ziggy is realizing his fathers dreams. <br />
<br />
A LITTLE ABOUT ZIGGY MARLEY <br />
--------------------------- <br />
Born in Trenchtown, Jamaica, Ziggy Marley was surrounded <br />
by the sights and sounds of the Jamaican recording <br />
industry from a very young age. First accompanying his <br />
father in the studio at a tender age, he soon joined with <br />
his siblings to form The Melody Makers. The act enjoyed <br />
two decades of successful touring and recording, netting <br />
three Grammy Awards and worldwide renown. Ziggy has <br />
contributed to a variety of soundtracks including 50 <br />
First Dates, Dora the Explorer, the PBS childrens show <br />
Arthur, and Sharks Tale, in which he delved into acting <br />
for the first time, playing the character of Bernie, the <br />
Jamaican jellyfish. In addition to his skills as a singer, <br />
songwriter and producer, Ziggy founded U.R.G.E. (Unlimited <br />
Resources Giving Enlightenment), a non-profit organization <br />
that benefits a wide range of charitable childrens causes <br />
in Jamaica, Ethiopia and other developing nations. More <br />
recently he has lent his support to both the Youth AIDS <br />
and H&Ms Fashion Against Aids campaigns.
