| Hip-Soul
is a communion of Hip-Hop,
Funk, Soul and Jazz. It
is the spirit of the past,
the slickness of the present,
and the promise of the future
of our music. This 7 member
band has evolved to include
Samori Coles (Emcee/Guitar),
Adam Faulk (Keyboard), russ
tate (vocals), James Cooper
(Bass), Kimpedro (Drums),
Kitty (Vocals), and Zanora
el (Vocals). Hip-Soul
is influenced by a wide
spectrum of artists, including
Rakim, Herbie Hancock,
James Brown, Prince, Mary
J. Blige, Groove Theory,
Earth Wind & Fire,
Bob Marley and John Coltrane,
to name a few. Their mission
is to create honest music
that reflects the truth
of our time. Audiences
are drawn to the warmth,
feel and good vibrations
that come from their live
performances. |
