Bob Marley's son Ziggy Marley is celebrating his 57th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed musicians of his generation.

Popular musician Ziggy Marley has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 57th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Marley, a cultural icon

Born David Marley in Trenchtown on October 17, 1968, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in Jamaican history. Marley's not just a great musician, he's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business man. At this point in his career, there seems to be little Ziggy hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Ziggy Marley as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 57.

Happy Birthday, Ziggy, you're the best!
