In the earliest known record of his musical career, David 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 moniker never stuck, however, and instead David went on to become known as "Ziggy", a nickname given to him by his father Bob Marley, meaning ‘little spliff’. But Ziggy states 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."
During the late 70s, Ziggy could also be seen alongside his brother Stephen at some of their father’s larger concerts around Jamaica and abroad. In 1978, the duo appeared on stage at the One Love Peace Concert in Kingston, and the following year at Reggae Sunsplash II in Montego Bay.
Ziggy Marley and the Melody Makers was launched into mainstream recognition following the release of their best-selling fourth album, Conscious Party, which contained the hit single "Tomorrow People" and the number-one single "Tumblin' Down". Their fifth album, One Bright Day, which contains themes of optimism and self-empowerment, was released in 1989. In 2000, they toured worldwide for the release of their live DVD, Ziggy Marley and the Melody Makers Live (2001). In 1996 they sang the theme song for the animated children's TV series Arthur.

The chorus is waiting in the back Oh don't slip, they're ready for attack And we'll be stuck with the melody Stuck with the melody Stuck with the melody Stuck with the melody The reaper is waiting in the back He's got a number its tattooed on your back And you'll be stuck with the melody Stuck with the melody Stuck with the melody Stuck with the melody Oh jesus you know that caesar's on your back But you've got to help us because you know for a fact That we'll be stuck with the melody
