Rohan Marley


Rohan Marley, a son of Bob Marley, was born in Jamaica in 1972 and moved to the United States, where he was a linebacker for the highly ranked University of Miami college football team.After playing professionally for the Ottawa Rough Riders in the Canadian Football League, Rohan decided to concentrate on family and business endeavors.

Rohan also has carried on Bob's legacy by running the Tuff Gong Clothing company. Bob founded Tuff Gong International in 1965 and gave it its colorful name because he claimed that one had to be "Tuff" to survive in music in Jamaica and he already had the nickname of "the Gong." Now Rohan has taken the brand and the inimitable Marley style and applied it to Tuff Gong Clothing.

"The clothes are for everyone," Rohan says. "For the people--just like my father's music."
