the multi-faceted soul behind the persona. Born in Cardiff, Wales,
Soulpersona began his relationship with music in a farmhouse attic
with a record player, listening to everything in his parents record
collection, playing along with an improvised drumkit made of cardboard
boxes and ice cream tubs. As years progressed, soulpersona became
infatuated by 70's Soul, Raregroove, Funk and Jazz recordings, his own
brand of musical expression was soon to follow, culminating in the
outstanding debut that is "Soulacoaster".
Soulpersona has dedicated his life to soul music, a decision that paid
off in 2001, when he caught the attention of Jocelyn Brown, who at the
time was auditioning producers. Playing his trademark Raregroove sound
in a room full of House Music producers, Soulpersona went on to work
for Jocelyn as her Creative A&R and as personal assistant to Oliver
Cheatham.
Six years on, Soulpersonas work has been both complimented and
complemented by his peers, which include Jocelyn Brown, RAMP, Harvey
Fuqua (of Motown), Patti Austin, Leon Ware, Oliver Cheatham and Bluey
(Incognito) to name a handful . This recognition
is well deserved, for there is a control demonstrated in Soulpersona's
music, particularly in the production that implies a far deeper
understanding of music than he lets on. The music has a directness
that is both disarming and uplifting at the same time, presenting a
stark reality that laces the flawless grooves with an edge that can
only be described as raregroove soul.
At present Soulpersona is working on producing RAMPs new LP as well as
recording with Jocelyn Brown, Darien (Reel People) Punk Pappa, Nude Continuum, Princess Freesia and many, many more. He
hopes to take his live raregroove show on the road this summer and is
currently taking deejay and performance bookings.
