Contribution: Soul Surge Seeks To Highlight & Document Soul & Jazz Culture In The UK. [@SoulSurgeUK]

Soul Surge is a platform founded by host and DJ, Tony Supreme, designed to bridge the gap between the arts and the audience who consume it – creating a community of support around psychological well- being, self-care and creative arts development.

We seek to highlight and document the culture surrounding Soul and Jazz music in the UK which often brings people together and offers a level of connection many people in society are looking for. We do this through bi-weekly radio shows on Reprezent Radio, which gives people a space to connect with soothing, soulful sounds.

Alongside the radio show, we hold monthly events called Hangouts, which are designed to bring our audience together to experience a community where people can meet and indulge in authentic soul music provided by specialist DJs, as well as engage in arts and crafts, board games, food and cocktails

We have held other events which are also about bringing people together with music as the common denominator:

The Red Room is a live music showcase, designed to bring emerging artists to the forefront and connect them with a new audience.

Soul Bounce is a party in which we encourage people to connect, get loose and let their hair down.

We also support artists by documenting events/shows, supporting with advocacy to get bookings and take their art to more people who are need of it, for us it is all about sharing the talent we have here in the UK.
