Summary:

In Let’s Take It Higher, Skip reflects on the honor of being nominated for the prestigious awards and of carrying on a mighty legacy in his own unique style. “The name Skip was one of my father’s nicknames, and it just come from being the captain of the ship, them call you Skipper,” says Damian “Jr. Gong” Marley who collaborated with Skip on the dancehall-style banger “That’s Not True.” As the youngest uncle, Damian’s adventurous approach to music was a huge inspiration to Skip growing up, along with uncle Stephen “Ragga” Marley, who first invited Skip on stage to perform with him. Let’s Take It Higher captures Skip at home in Miami adapting to the pandemic lifestyle just like the rest of us—washing his hands, eating healthy, exercising, spending time with family and his pet dogs, and making music. The film was directed by Reshma B, who produced the acclaimed reggae documentary Studio 17: The Lost Reggae Tapes. The first day of production was January 6 2021, the same day a violent mob stormed the U.S. Capitol Building, making clear how urgent the Marley mantra of “One Love” is today, and giving Skip’s musical plea to “Take me to a higher place.”
