Soulmonk is a collaboration of musicianship and technology, intertwined at the core by a conscience effort to break the tedium of traditional music. Wether it be Funk, Rock, Jazz or Electronic... the unorthodox musician that masterminds Soulmonk, has an obsessive desire to inject life into standardized music and create a sound that is familiar, yet fresh.
There is not a conceptual destination for Soulmonk. Through collaborations with other musicians and the "write what you feel" mentality. The project which is Soulmonk, will not be imprisoned by genre... instead will explore the frontier of sub-genres... In search of new land.
Absolutely love your music and artistry, thank you for swinging through Macjams! Hopefully you will post something new there again and stop by and say hi... haven't seen you for awhile! Not like I need a Soulmonk-music-fix or anything... I'm... OK... :-) ttfn, Drakonis
Hello James,

Hey Soulmonk,
