Although less frequently requested, the following might be considered, also.
- A non-performance personal appearance.
An example would be to hire a celebrity to attend a private or corporate party as simply a (non-performing) guest to mingle with other guests, or to hire the celebrity to do a meet-and-greet at your party.
- A virtual performance.
A virtual performance is a live or recorded show—such as a concert, play, dance, comedy act, or other artistic presentation—that is broadcast or streamed online instead of being performed in front of a physical audience. Artists perform live from a studio, venue, or even their homes and stream the show on platforms like YouTube, Twitch, or Instagram Live. Essentially, a virtual performance brings entertainment to audiences through the internet rather than in-person venues.

aka: David Nesta Marley
GRAMMY award-winning David Nesta “Ziggy” Marley (born 17 October 1968) is a Jamaican reggae musician. He is the son of reggae icon Bob Marley and Rita Marley.
During the late 1970s, Ziggy could also be seen alongside his brother Stephen at some of their father’s larger concerts around Jamaica and abroad. In 1978, the duo appeared on stage at the One Love Peace Concert in Kingston, Jamaica, and the following year at Reggae Sunsplash II in Montego Bay.
In 1979, Ziggy and his siblings Sharon, Cedella, and Stephen formed the Melody Makers (named after the British weekly pop/rock music newspaper, Melody Maker) and made their recording debut with the song, “Children Playing in the Streets”.

Ziggy Marley and the Melody Makers won three Grammy Awards and five nominations in total before disbanding in 2002.
After the Melody Makers disbanded, Ziggy Marley launched a solo career.
In July 2006, his second solo album, Love Is My Religion, was released on his independent record label, Tuff Gong Worldwide. The album won a Grammy Award for Best Reggae Album, making it Marley’s 4th Grammy win.
In May 2009, his third solo album, Family Time, was released on Tuff Gong Worldwide. Family Time was presented as a children’s album and features family and friends: Rita Marley, Cedella Marley, Judah Marley, Paul Simon, Willie Nelson, Jack Johnson, Toots Hibbert, Laurie Berkner, Elizabeth Mitchell, and more. This album won a Grammy Award for Best Musical Album for Children.

In May 2018, Ziggy Marley released another studio album, Rebellion Rises, through Tuff Gong Worldwide. The album received rave reviews upon release. Cryptic Rock gave the album 5 out of 5 stars, stating, “Politically and socially relevant, Rebellion Rises is a war of music, creating peace with a purpose.”. Island Stage called the album “a 10-track masterpiece that continues his father’s tradition of promoting emancipation from mental slavery through education, social activism, and healthy living.” Reggaeville said the album “is not an angry record. It is not a bitter record. But it is not a record of hope, either. The time of hoping for change is a notion Marley considers past due. This is a record of action, and for Ziggy Marley, the time for action is now.”
Ziggy Marley is the eldest son of Bob Marley and Rita Marley. His brothers are Stephen Marley, Julian Marley, Ky-Mani Marley, Robert “Robbie” Marley, Rohan Marley and Damian Marley. His sisters are Sharon Marley, Cedella Marley, Karen Marley, Stephanie Marley, and Serita Stewart.
Hits include:
- Power to Move Ya
- Tumblin’ Down
