Tampa, Florida - SoulTalk Host/Producer Deborah Hinds is pleased to announce the forthcoming launch of a new website venture, PlanetSoul.com . Created out of the need for a global portal for independent soul music and her desire to promote a large number of talented artists simultaneously, Deborah says PlanetSoul.com will include a variety of artist features, the SoulTalk artist interview show, Internet radio, worldwide event listings, and an online store with PlanetSoul merchandise, music, and more.
The official launch of PlanetSoul.com is scheduled for January 1, 2007, with a launch concert featuring two leading independent soul artists in South Florida on January 27, 2007.
Deborah explains her vision for PlanetSoul in this way: "Since starting SoulTalk in 2005, I've become inundated with interview requests from artists and folks suggesting artists. There's so much talent on the indie soul scene, that I quickly realized I needed to cast a wider net and create something that would allow me feature a larger number of artists and ultimately expand to include other music-related features. Craig Chapman at RHYTHMflow.net has given SoulTalk a home and supported the show since the beginning, but we both understand the need for me to expand, and PlanetSoul will allow me to do that."
She says that her experience at the First Annual Soul Music Summit in Atlanta, Georgia in August demonstrated the need for networking and partnering between supporters and promoters of soul music, and the global love for soul music. "Terry (Bello) and his team gave me a tremendous opportunity as both a panelist and moderator at this year's Summit. Terry's vision for this annual conference has led to great partnerships and friendships among those of us who promote this music." Deborah adds, "One thing that was discussed at length at the Summit was the love for this music around the world - from the United States to Australia, and everywhere in between, people love these artists and the music they bring to the world."
Deborah's experience at the Summit led her on a search for the perfect domain name for her new venture, which will include contributions from fellow independent soul promoters and partners Chai Footman ( Mocha Soul Café radio show and website), Craig Chapman ( RHYTHMflow.net ), and Terry Bello (GrooveNation.net, SoulSummitonline.com , and Soul Lounge compilation series ). She says, "I wanted something that encompassed the world, this music, and related art forms, and PlanetSoul was at the top of my list. It obviously sounds global, the brand is something you can feel and picture on merchandise, and it expresses the reach of this music." She came up with the tagline, " PlanetSoul.com …Join the movement" to symbolize both the movement of the earth and what is known among independent artists and their supporters as the "Indie Soul Movement."
