Dubbest is a San Diego-based reggae and world music artist originally formed on the East Coast in 2009 by Matt and Andrew MacKenzie, Ryan Thaxter, Sean Craffey, Cory Mahoney, and Kyle Hancock. The group relocated to San Diego, bringing a vibrant blend of reggae, jam, and global influences to the West Coast scene. Known for their soulful melodies, tight harmonies, and engaging live performances, Dubbest has built a loyal regional following and earned recognition within the San Diego music community.
