About
One Love is a high-energy Bob Marley Tribute Band founded by Shawn Hillman during the COVID-19 lockdown, born out of a deep love for reggae music and the rich sounds of the Caribbean. With live music temporarily silenced, One Love began in an unconventional way—its first few months were entirely virtual. Band members connected online, shared ideas, rehearsed remotely, and built chemistry long before ever sharing a stage.
Rooted in Shawn Hillman’s family heritage, One Love draws inspiration from Bob Marley’s timeless catalog, classic reggae, and the soulful rhythms of the Caribbean, blending authenticity with a modern live-performance energy that resonates with audiences of all ages. The band honors Marley’s messages of unity, love, and social consciousness while delivering powerful, crowd-moving performances.
What started as a creative outlet during an uncertain time quickly evolved into something much bigger—a band built on resilience, positivity, and musical connection. Since transitioning from virtual rehearsals to live shows, One Love has continued to gain momentum, building a loyal and ever-growing fan base.
With over 16,000 followers and growing every day, One Love continues to spread the spirit of reggae and the legacy of Bob Marley—bringing people together through music, culture, and one universal message: One Love.
