Ziggy Marley, the eldest son of the reggae icon Bob Marley and Rita Marley, isn’t letting the pandemic get in the way of his music. Since March, he has been hunkered down at his Mediterranean-style home in the Toluca Lake section of Los Angeles with his wife Orly Marley, four children — Judah, Gideon, Abraham and Isaiah — and new puppy, Romeo. His eighth studio album called, appropriately enough, “More Family Time,” drops Sept. 18. And since he won’t be touring anytime soon, here’s how he is spending his time. (This interview has been edited and condensed.)

Morning Sunshine

Mostly I wake up whenever I wake up. We have a new dog though, and sometimes he’s waking up early to go outside.

Skipping Meals

We’ve been doing intermittent fasting without knowing it was called intermittent fasting for a while. Now it’s become a thing. I don’t have to eat certain foods but I do eat a lot of vegetables and I don’t eat red meat. Sometimes I’ll get a protein shake. I trust the Garden of Life stuff. But mostly, I eat when I’m hungry. Sometimes, I can do fine on one meal a day.

Inner Child

One of my key thoughts is: Keep an open mind. If you can do this, it’s really refreshing. It refreshes you. Your body gets tired, you rest. Your mind needs to be refreshed too. But your mind has to be open to receive your refreshment. This is how I think about staying creative.
