I want to take a moment to say thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone who has believed in me since day one.
I never imagined that something I created would grow into something this big—a brand, a culture, and now a genre. I never gave up. I continued pushing the Souldies name, building the brand, and producing music to keep this sound alive with new artist , always hoping that one day it would reach the world.
With the endless love and support of my wife, my family, Team, Artist and all of my true supporters, I created Souldies—the new sound of oldies, carried by a new generation of young artists. It’s inspired by the music we grew up loving and listening to our parents play. I wanted to preserve that special feeling while creating something new for future generations.
That dream grew into DJ Cazel Presents producing shows, Industry Music Group a record label and production company creating music and concerts, and The Souldies Lounge giving everyone a place to come together, enjoy themselves, and hear great music they normally don’t get to experience.
Last night, we had the opportunity to bring a major concert to the historic Greek Theatre. We took a chance by bringing together new artists and legendary performers, not knowing whether it would work or whether we could sell it out. We wanted people to experience where Souldies came from and honor the oldies that inspired it all.
And we did it.
“Souldies From Oldies” SOLD OUT every seat—and we sold out of every piece of merchandise!
Thank you to everyone who believed in me, supported my dream, bought a ticket, purchased merchandise, shared the show, or helped us along the way. Together, we made history.
And to my beautiful wife Tanya I love you. Thank you for always believing in me, standing beside me, and having my back through everything.
We did it! This is only the beginning.
