Unkul Funk/DJ Rome of The Soul Children has been a native of Los Angeles his entire life. His love for music reaches way back to pre-kindergarten when he would spend hours playing soulful 45’s on a mini-record player. He’s been hooked on records ever since he first saw Barry White’s “I’ve Got So Much To Give†LP spinning on the turntable of the family console. Heavily influenced by such artists as George Clinton, Parliament-Funkadelic, Cameo, Brass Construction, War, Earth Wind & Fire and Prince, Rome noticed a disturbing absence of these funk icons in most DJ sets throughout the L.A. underground, and thus, he seized the opportunity to fill the void. His extended and recurring residencies have included venues like Cafe Luna Sol, Viper Room, 5th Street Dicks/Chaos Cafe in Leimert Park, House of Blues (Sunset Strip,) Zanzibar, and Little Temple. He has been a resident of every Soul Children function including "Brown Rice N’BBQ," "Together," and "JUJU", and has been the in-house DJ or guest MC with such artists as George Clinton, Lina, Joi, Raul Midon, Kim Hill, PJ Butta, Ladybug Mecca, KC & The Sunshine Band, Res (pronounced REESE), Eric Roberson, Dead Prez, Michael McDonald, Teena Marie, Sy Smith, Erykah Badu, and Kenny Lattimore & Chante Moore. Rome is also a production assistant on "Chocolate City" which is hosted by Garth Trinidad every Saturday night from 6PM-9PM on 89.9 FM KCRW(www.KCRW.com) Furthermore, he has worked with the Temple Bar in Santa Monica, California, a popular West coast venue that is known globally for hosting some of the most universally eclectic artists throughout the world with a distinct focus on neo-soul music. He was responsible for promotions, production assistance, website management, and writing copy for the weekly email blasts. He advances his plight by conducting intermittent music research and consulting for HUM MEDIA, a production house in Santa Monica that specializes in licensing music for television and film. And finally, he remains active as an independent who records mixed CD’s and promotes all Soul Children events.
