Miles Doughty is a co-founding member of Slightly Stoopid, a reggae/rock band based out of Ocean Beach, Calif.

Originally signed by Sublime’s Bradley Nowell in the early 1990s prior to Nowell’s passing two years later, Slightly Stoopid has worked tirelessly ever since.

The band has a new studio album in the works for 2026, in addition to a consistently heavy touring schedule of the sort that has made the group a mainstay of the genre.
