WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — Ziggy Marley said he hasn't graced the stages of SunFest in years.
"I haven't been to Florida performing in a while," he said.
During the interview, Marley sat and relaxed in his studio with fond memories of performing at SunFest.
"I'm looking forward to that," he said. "We always get a good reception from the people in Florida."
The eight-time Grammy winner said even though his career has spanned nearly 40 years, his creative juices are still flowing.
"I think it's because I'm a humanitarian, how me think, how me feel, how me care, how me love," he said. "It has a lot to do with empathy and caring about other people other than myself."
