Not only is he one of the world’s biggest music icons, but his impact has also transcended generations which is really special. I wish the Marley family all the best with this incredible film and can’t wait to take this banging Jamming remix to millions at festivals around the world in his honour.”

Sam Kelly, managing director, hello social, says “Whether it’s Bob Marley or Fisher, for generations music has had an innate ability to bring people together, to unite and influence.
