Marley decided he wanted to contribute to his father’s legacy like his brothers but music was not his calling. This is when Tuff Gong clothing line came about. Marley began a clothing line that would represent his father and his beliefs.
“I wanted something different to get people away from the skulls and bones,” said Marley.
Tuff Gong was the record company his father belonged to when he played with the “Wailers”. The Wailers were a group of Bob’s friends who formed a band named after Bob’d nickname. Rohan wanted to keep the tradition alive and name his clothing line Tuff Gong in memory of his father.
While his clothing line launched throughout Los Angeles, Rohan took some time off to get connected with his spiritual side. He traveled to Israel and toured many historical sights from Christ’s time. He explored where Abraham prayed and got to touch Jesus’ cross. The experience was uplifting for Rohan.
“I got a chance to float with the angels, prophets, saint etc,” said Marley. “Everyone should do it.”
Rohan explains it did not change his life but progressed it.
