Souleye (husband of seven-time Grammy-winning Canadian singer/songwriter Alanis Morissette) has an impressive resume. Having been referred to as “one of the most inventive hip-hop artists of his generation” by The Source, his passion for the genre can be traced back to his formative years, as an adolescent in New England, who would record episodes of Yo! MTV Raps on his boombox. He began freestyling and writing songs in his mid-teens, and at 20, he was bestowed with the name “Souleye” during a shamanic visualization meditation. Throughout the course of his career, Souleye has been viewed as a genre-bending act, as evidenced by his longevity and his discography, which features a dozen studio albums! Furthermore, he has collaborated with numerous artists, including his wife, Alanis Morissette, and various hip-hop and electronic music artists, such as Sunspot Jonz and Random Rab.
Collaborator and Grammy-featured producer Esjay Jones is perhaps one of the busiest and tenacious women in all of the music industry. Having worked with everyone from Billy Corgan of The Smashing Pumpkins, Brian “Head” Welch of Korn, and Dave Navarro of Jane’s Addiction to the late, great Chester Bennington, Jones consistently has her finger on the pulse of what makes a song pop in any genre. Not only does she have a stranglehold on the rock world, but with business partner and Kittie frontwoman, Morgan Lander, Esjay Jones has also stepped into the world of non-alcoholic beverages. Their creation, specifically crafted for heavy music lovers everywhere, KittiePIG, is a non-alcoholic beer that is making waves within the hardrock venues and bars around the country. Promising “All Headbang, No Hangover,” there has never (ever) been a better tasting, or more badass can of bubbles to hit the market. For more info on KittiePIG and wholesale purchasing, go here!
Souleye and Esjay will join forces for a second time beyond their massive song collaboration by launching the first-ever SOULEYE FEST on October 26 at Four-Twenty Bank in Palm Springs. The “can’t miss” event is complimentary and embraces art, music, and plant- based medicines. So there’s something for everyone and is a great way to spend the day. Additionally, Souleye will also release his 13th studio album, Floating In Plasma, that night.
