About Soulshift – professional Soul & Funk Band based in Colchester, UK
Soulshift is a dynamic five-piece band bringing a fresh spark to the timeless soul sound.
Inspired by the golden age of Motown and shaped by today’s R&B and funk scene, they fuse vintage warmth with modern energy to create something that feels both classic and new.
Every show is a journey through decades of groove and emotion, from Marvin Gaye and Stevie Wonder to Anderson . Paak and Childish Gambino; each song reimagined with bold originality, deep rhythm and irresistible style.
Whether they’re performing for an intimate crowd or lighting up a festival stage, Soulshift’s chemistry and musicianship turn every set into a soulful celebration.
Born from London’s top session scene, the band’s members share an instinctive connection that makes every performance feel alive and unpredictable.
With smooth vocals, infectious rhythm and electrifying live energy, Soulshift doesn’t just play soul music, they reinvent it for a new generation.
