The House Of Marley

Rohan Marley with TV Presenter Chantal Leptos

I was invited to attend the official launch of the legendary Marley Families new brand, The House of Marley, and charity foundation 1Love.org. What's better than attending such an awesome event is that I had the pleasure of interviewing Bob Marley's son, Rohan Marley AND Natalie Pa'apa'a from world acclaimed band Blue King Brown!

In amongst all my presenting duties I was also producing the video so for some time prior to the shoot I was very busy organising and coordinating both myself and my 3 fabulous crew members.

After a stint in hair, make-up and wardrobe I was ready to hit the red carpet at the event and do my thang publicity wise before getting the opportunity to round up my crew and start talking the talk.

What occurred next really blew me away, a man walked down the stairs from the second level observing the crowd as he made his way down and when he hit the first story landing it was very clear as to who this guy was. It was the son of Bob Marley, Rohan Marley, and let me say this - his presence and aura took over the room - despite who this man is there was no ignoring that there is something very special about him and his being.

I observed Rohan closely before making my way toward him to introduce myself, he embraced so many people with such respect and gratitude, he grooved around the room to his father's music and I often caught him singing along to Bob's songs and it was clear that he believed in every word he sung.

Then it was my turn, I approached Rohan Marley and he embraced me like an old friend.. and what happened next is extra spesh. 

At the very beginning of our interview just as 'action' was being called Rohan put his arm around me and begun singing to a song that had just started blaring through the speakers; Could You Be Loved by Bob Marley.
OF COURSE this is not a normal occurrence especially in the life of moi so for a tiny second I savoured that exact moment and just took it in. Rohan Marley sung to me.

The event was very cool and casual with a big emphasis on "Peace, Joy and Giving back", The House of Marley audio products are more than just headphones and speakers, they are made using our planets resources and then in turn they give back to the planet through proceeds and 1Love.

The official sneak peek of the launch and interviews with Rohan Marley and Natalie Pa'apa'a will be available in the near future so keep visiting to find out when!
