“Living It Up” is the new upbeat reggae anthem from Omari Banks and cricket legend Chris Gayle.
Merging cricket stardom with musical creativity, Omari Banks and Chris Gayle have teamed up to release “Living It Up,” a reggae-driven summer single that radiates joy and island vibes. Now streaming on all major platforms, the track is a lighthearted anthem rooted in personal stories and Caribbean rhythm.
Omari, known for his conscious roots reggae and signature guitar sound, steps into more energetic territory for this track, without compromising authenticity. “Living It Up is inspired by the energy and party vibes that pulse through the Caribbean,” he shares. The single marks a celebratory return to feel-good music, reflecting his journey as both a professional cricketer and musician.
The collaboration is powered by longtime ties between the two stars. “Chris and I go way back… and the respect and bond we share made this an effortless collaboration,” says Omari. The duo’s shared history on the cricket field created the foundation for a natural musical partnership. 
With Omari crafting the hook and his verses, and Chris Gayle alongside Camar “Flava” contributing additional lyrics, the single is a genuine team effort. The production was shaped by Omari with co-arrangement by Michael Fletcher, and executive producers Ann and Gordon Woodward helped bring the vision to life.
Chris Gayle describes the experience as aligned with his philosophy: “It reflects how I live, fun, engaging, and always in celebration of life.”
“Living It Up” is more than just a track—it’s a shared moment between two friends who’ve brought their individual paths full circle in music.
