Soulis

Soulis is an ongoing collaborative project between Tammi S., Rosie Owens, Jarome Matthew and Jose S. Gutierrez Jr. Their vision was to break out of the monotonous rut that r&b music has fallen into by blending pop, funk, soul, and hip hop, and creating futuristic funk, that still has old school flavor.

In between appearances in movies such as FutureSport starring Wesley Snipes and Vanessa Williams, Tammi S. lent her smooth, widely diverse voice and catchy melodies to award winning Hip Hop artists. Discovered by Pro Soul during one such production, Tammi soon realized her talents in writing killer lyrics and melodies that far exceeded any artist she had sung backup for.

Raised in Los Angeles, Luvva J was immersed in Hip-Hop culture and expression back when it was neither cool or mainstream. Now acting as consultant to various urban radio stations, record labels and events, Luvva J is also a sought after DJ and MC for various west coast shows and events such as concerts like The Westside Connection, Warren G., Digital Underground, Kurupt and Ja Rule.

Having worked with numerous live acts and bands throughout her musical career, including L.A. Style and Wynton Marsalis, Rosie Owens is the founding member and former lead vocalist and writer for Soulis. Rosie brings a classic soul sound that runs deep from her family roots in jazz, soul, and blues.

Soulis' debut album, 'Everfresher' is a collection of driving funk influenced r&b tracks with a classic old school flavor with futuristic overtones.
