Caribbean stars Omari Banks and Chris Gayle release “Living It Up,” a reggae anthem celebrating life and friendship.
Bringing their sporting legacy into the musical spotlight, Omari Banks and Chris Gayle collaborate on “Living It Up,” a reggae anthem born from friendship, shared roots, and a mutual love of Caribbean culture. The track is available now on all platforms.
This upbeat single fuses Omari’s soulful roots reggae background with a new, party-driven energy. Known for his emotive guitar playing and thoughtful songwriting, Omari explains, “Living It Up is inspired by the energy and party vibes that pulse through the Caribbean.”
Musically, the track is the result of a tight collaboration. Omari took the lead on writing the hook and his verses, while Gayle and Camar “Flava” added their lyrical perspectives. Michael Fletcher co-arranged the track with Omari, while Ann and Gordon Woodward served as executive producers.
Reflecting on their bond, Omari shares: “Chris and I go way back… the respect and bond we share made this an effortless collaboration.” Gayle, widely recognized both on and off the field, was instantly drawn to the song’s message: “It reflects how I live, fun, engaging, and always in celebration of life.”
“Living It Up” captures the essence of modern reggae — rhythmic, vibrant, and packed with personal truth. For two stars who made their names through sport, this track is a powerful reminder of the shared culture and joy that continue to drive their creative journeys.
