Morgan Heritage Honoured With Multiple Grammy Certificates, Pays Tribute to Late Brother Peetah Morgan

Pride, legacy and remembrance converged in South Florida as the Morgan Heritage family was formally honoured with multiple Grammy certificates, celebrating a lineage that has helped carry reggae to the world while paying tribute to their late brother, Peetah Morgan. The special ceremony, held on January 22 at the Island SPACE Caribbean Museum, recognised the iconic Jamaican family’s contributions to Grammy-winning and Grammy-nominated projects that have cemented their place in global music history.

Presented by Back 2 Da Future Music Limited in partnership with The Royalty Network, the Grammy Certificate Ceremony saw Morgan Heritage and Gramps Morgan receive Recording Academy certificates for standout collaborations. The group was honoured for its role on 44/876, the Sting and Shaggy joint album that won the 2019 Grammy Award for Best Reggae Album. Gramps Morgan was also recognised for his work on Grammy-nominated projects including J Boog’s Wash House Ting and The Wailers’ Evolution, highlighting his impact both within the family collective and as a solo creative force.

For Gramps, the moment carried cultural weight beyond accolades. “It feels incredible to celebrate with the reggae and dancehall community,” he said, noting that reggae artists are often nominated without the chance to properly mark the achievement with their teams. Reflecting on his career, he added that while solo nominations and collaborations with artists such as Buju Banton, India Arie and The Wailers are deeply fulfilling, recognition under the Morgan Heritage banner remains uniquely powerful.

Emotion ran high when Gramps and his brothers accepted certificates on behalf of their sister and their late sibling Peetah Morgan, whose death in 2024 sent shockwaves through the reggae world. “Music lives on forever, and we are going to make sure that people continue to enjoy the music in the Morgan Heritage family catalogue,” Gramps shared, reinforcing the group’s commitment to legacy and continuity. With plans already in motion to take the Grammy Certificate Ceremony to Jamaica and the UK in 2026, the night stood as both a tribute to reggae’s past and a signal of its future on the global stage.
