We bring people together through rhythm, soul, and island energy.
“Who are these “Chili Guys” we keep hearing about?” Well, they are a Miami-based, reggae band with an eclectic sound and a unique story. Comprised of 3 long time friends, Dr. Cheech, Lyonz, and Mikigai, they merged together to form the core of the band known as “Chili Guys.” They are backed by a group of seasoned musicians mostly from a Cuban background. Chili Guys began writing music together in August of 2022 and have been taking the local Miami music scene by storm. With their 4 harmonizing vocalists and electrifying sax that soar over classic reggae riffs, the Chili Guys are attracting an ever-growing audience with their infectious sound and message that resonates across all ages and cultures throughout the world.
Chili Guys released their first studio album, “Love Papa” in 2023 (#1 iTunes Reggae Charts), and is set to release their second album, “Chili Island” (Summer 2025), that includes hit singles, Summertime’ and ‘Beach in Miami’. Chili Guys are set to make waves with their fresh take on reggae & island vibes with Miami flavor.
