==Career==
===1979–1984: Family beginnings=== In the earliest known record of his musical career, Marley performed as part of a singing group called The Seven Do Bees, made up of him and his classmates, and wherein he was given the stage name "Freddie Dic". The name never stuck, however, and instead, David went on to become known as "Ziggy", a nickname often reported to have been given to him by his father Bob Marley, meaning "little spliff". However, Ziggy stated the following to ''Melody Maker'' magazine in 1988: "Me name David but me big Bowie fan. So at the time of the ''Ziggy Stardust'' album, me call meself Ziggy and now everyone do."<ref>{{cite book|title=Bob Marley|publisher=St. Martin's Press|date=1997|page=[https://archive.org/details/bobmarley00benn/page/76 76] |isbn= 9780312179373| first= Scotty | last= Bennett| url= https://archive.org/details/bobmarley00benn/page/76}}</ref>

===1985–2002: Ziggy Marley & The Melody Makers=== {{Main|Ziggy Marley and the Melody Makers}} In 1979, Ziggy and his siblings Sharon, Cedella and Stephen formed the Melody Makers (named after the British weekly pop/rock music newspaper, ''Melody Maker'') and made their recording debut with "Children Playing in the Streets".

All royalties from the single were pledged to the United Nations, to aid its efforts during the International Year of the Child.<ref>{{Cite book|last=Thompson|first=Dave|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=ARrDQKqFo7AC&q=%22Children+Playing+in+the+Streets%22+++%22United+Nations%22+++%22Marley%22&pg=PA176|title=Reggae & Caribbean Music|date=2002|publisher=Hal Leonard Corporation|isbn=978-0-87930-655-7|language=en}}</ref>
