Won't Sell My Soul

Irie Lions was established in 2011 by Ska-T Hilliard and Ciavash Zaifi.

"Our plan was to make something original with a combination of sounds that inspired us growing up, from Hendrix and Red Hot Chili Peppers to Bob Marley and Slightly Stoopid. Those are only just a few."

This 7 piece band combines originality and love for a dynamic sound. Reggae foundation with a landscape of funky jazzy fresh sounds to keep your ears crying for more!


" I love people and the experiences we share, the hardship and struggle. That's what fuels the band and keeps us together, makes us stronger. We have come to share that love through music that people can relate to and remember who they are." -Ciavash Zaifi
