Chillakaya

Fronted by Kemwa Z, the reggae fusion band Chillakaya performs as a dynamic duo or trio blending laid-back grooves with bright, island-flavored energy. Whether playing along Florida’s beachtown venues, or on stages throughout the East Coast, they bring a warm, feel-good sound that sets the tone for relaxed vibes and memorable live experiences.

Kemwa Z, the lead vocalist, five-string Steinberger bass player, and the band's founder, grew up in the town of Old Road on the beautiful island of Antigua, where the country's culture heavily influenced him. Lia De is their manager and keyboardist, who brings her talent from New York, where she was training to be a professional musician, but after a change of paths, she found she loved playing live music and now shares her love of dance through the music she plays.
