Answer:
Kingston, Jamaica
Bob Nesta Marley was born on February 6, 1945 in Nine Mile, Jamaica. During his childhood, his family moved to Trenchtown, part of the capital city of Kingston. He became one of the most influential Jamaican music artists, known for his reggae style. His biggest hits include "No Woman No Cry", I Shot the Sheriff" and "One Love".
Marley has long been associated with the Rastafari movement, a religion developed in the 1930s in Jamaica. Rastafari believe in the god Jah and recognise the emperor of Ethiopia, Haile Selassie, as the incarnation of Jah. It was a reaction to the dominant British culture at the time and focuses on the African heritage of its followers. As part of the Rastafari movement, Marley grew dreadlocks and promoted the use of cannabis. Several of his songs were influenced by Rastafari themes, like "Exodus" or "Redemption Song". Later in life Marley converted to Ethiopian Orthodox Christianity.
Trenchtown is one of the neighborhoods in the parish of St. Andrew, Jamaica, in and around the city of Kingston, It is widely regarded as the birthplace of reggae music, as many reggae artists grew up there.
