Skip Marley Minto (born 4 June 1996) is a Jamaican singer. He is the son of Cedella Marley and David Minto, and grandson of Bob Marley and Rita Marley. He has received two Grammy Award nominations and an MTV Video Music Award nomination.

Marley, raised in Miami, demonstrated an early passion for music. He is self-taught in piano, drums, guitar, and bass. He embarked on his music career in 2015 with the release of singles "Cry to Me" and "Life" under the Tuff Gong label. He gained further exposure by touring with his uncles Damian and Stephen Marley on their Catch a Fire tour.

In 2016, Marley's visibility increased as he was featured in a Gap 1969 Denim campaign, and by 2017, he had signed with Island Records, releasing "Lions," a single that gained notoriety for its use in a Pepsi commercial. His collaboration with Katy Perry on "Chained to the Rhythm" led to performances at the Grammy Awards, Brit Awards, and iHeartRadio Music Awards in 2017. Marley's debut EP, "Higher Place," was released in 2020. The EP includes hits such as "Slow Down," featuring H.E.R., which has received critical acclaim and a Grammy nomination.
