About the series

Why we document independent soul

Origins

Documenting artists where they work and live

Indie Soul Journeys documents the depth and geographic reach of independent soul music, following artists in America and abroad. Each episode is built around the person behind the music, their craft, and the places that shape it.

Our approach is honest storytelling: we let the artist's personal voice and creative process lead, rather than framing their work through industry hype.
