Southern artist and label founder, Chino Marley was the third born of four children. Raised by a single mother in the trenches of Birmingham, Alabama, Marley was exposed to life’s harsh realities from an early age. His music speaks to the experiences of both falling prey and rising above these circumstances. Despite being a bright child, his family’s lack of resources and the absence of his father made growing up between Birmingham and New Orleans increasingly more difficult. When a prison cell prevented him from witnessing his child’s birth, Marley decided to change his life for the better. He began to focus on his music and entrepreneurship. In 2016, Marley dropped his first independent release, “Count it Up.” Shortly after, he met Canadian producer, SspikeTrap via social media. Together they began to hone in on a unique, identifiable sound. The duo’s bond is so strong, Marley likens it to that of Zaytoven & Gucci Mane. The musical chemistry between the two was yielding such promising results that Marley’s mentor DJ Gold Mouf convinced him to move to Atlanta to pursue music full time in 2017. With the support of his growing team, Marley is focused on making the world recognize him and his music in 2020.
