Born into one of reggae’s most celebrated musical families, Jemere Morgan carries a powerful inheritance. But as the grandson of pioneer Denroy Morgan and the son of Gramps Morgan of Morgan Heritage, he is not simply preserving a legacy—he is building one of his own.

In “Walking in Purpose and Royalty,” Cara Eyre speaks with Morgan about spirituality, personal growth and the responsibility he feels each time he creates music. From the uplifting message of “Keep Blazing” to the relationship lessons behind “Know Better,” every song must carry intention and leave listeners with something meaningful.

Morgan also reflects on collaborating with Damian Marley on his third studio album, a more mature and vulnerable project exploring love, emotional growth and life’s difficult seasons. Throughout the conversation, he returns to a guiding belief: music should offer joy, connection and upliftment in a divided world.

For Morgan, legacy is not something fixed or protected. It is a living mission—shaped by experience, carried forward with purpose and strengthened each time the music reaches someone who needs it.
