the lowdown |
Striving for musical perfection and crafting a niche
of his very own, Vudoo Soul surveyed his
contemporaries and their styles of music and decided
to go back to the basics.
Songs such as “Lover Come Over,” “Infatuated,” “Oh
Too Late”, “Runnin” and “Nothin’ Somethin” shine
with a youthful energy and an unbridled passion, yet
remain unpretentious and honest in their expression.
“I want to help people connect with each other and
understand themselves through my music, to make ’em
feel, inspire questions… to make some serious
noise.”

the sound |
 Vudoo Soul may not look or sound like what the
industry would call the traditional soul man, but he
has been driven by an unwavering desire to break
that mold.
Adoring audiences, standing ovations, sold-out shows
and continuous hits to his websites have validated
to him that this chosen path was the correct one.

the band |

timeless songs, engaging performances and a heartfelt voice.
A rush of both intensity and tenderness lace every note and

the beginings |
 Born and raised in sunny California, Vudoo Soul pursued his
musical career shortly after a life-changing experience at
his first Alicia Keys concert. Inspired by the star and
musical influences such as Stevie Wonder (who was the
subject of his first book report in elementary school),
Vudoo Soul became a self-taught piano man who has “held it
down easy” at the most famous blues venues in the U.S.,
including the House of Blues in Hollywood and B.B. Kings
Blues Club in New York.
The fully enrolled MIT student took his first major step in
music by joining an a cappella group called the MIT
Logarhythms. What began as an extracurricular pastime
transformed into a cathartic creative outlet, as he got his
first taste of national touring as part of this vocal
ensemble. For the first time, Vudoo Soul saw a world beyond
the glass ceiling set forth for him at MIT. He purchased a
digital piano shortly thereafter and began teaching himself
how to play and write his own music.
After graduating MIT, Vudoo Soul left this electrical
engineering degree behind and followed his heart into music.
Within 18 months, Vudoo Soul has performed in front of
thousands and won recognition across the nation. He has
built himself a "see-it-to-believe-it" reputation: audiences
are left wide-eyed after seeing him perform, unprepared for
the booming voice of soul that deceives his appearance. Last
September, he performed to a sold-out crowd at a Hurricane
Katrina-relief benefit in New York City’s Knitting Factory
covered by MTV World News. Vudoo Soul dared to compete at
Apollo Night hosted by Harvard University’s Black Student
Union, snatching the “Winner of the Apollo Night” honor with
19 acts trailing behind him. During his performance for
ImaginAsian TV in New York, Vudoo Soul even caused Russell
Simmons to interrupt his own media interview to listen to
him sing. This month, Vudoo Soul has officially become
international, making his debut in Asia in April 2006. Fans’
anticipation of his arrival has drawn media coverage from HK
Magazine and the South China Morning Post, Hong Kong’s
premier English newspaper
