Live And Intimate In Perth
For One Show Only

Soulfest, Australia’s only Neo-Soul, Jazz and Hip-Hop Festival is pleased to announce Anthony Hamilton, Angie Stone, and Musiq Soulchild live in Perth for one show only, on Thursday October 23rd at Crown Theatre. With all three artists appearing in Perth for the first time ever, this once in a lifetime show will bring together three of the world’s greatest Neo-Soul artists in an intimate setting in the salubrious surroundings of the Crown Casino Theatre. With over 20 Grammy nominations between them, this is a night not to be missed for all Perth lovers of Soul Music.

Angie Stone
Grammy Award Nominated Singer-Songwriter, Producer and Actress Angie Stone, is the Grand Dame of Neo-Soul. With four Top 10 albums, including a number one album and ten singles, Stone has sold over 1.4 million albums in the US and over 5 million albums worldwide.

Stone was born in Columbia South Carolina and starting off her singing career singing Gospel music at her local Baptist Church. Dreams of singing stardom led Stone to Arista Records and the debut of her first solo album in 1999 “Black Diamond”, which went on to be certified Gold. This was followed up by “Mahogany Soul” in 2001, also going Gold. Third album “Stone Love” followed in 2004 and her fourth studio release “The Art of Love and War” emerged in 2007. She followed this up with “Unexpected” in 2009 and “Rich Girl” in 2012.

Angie Stone has successfully held court as a Queen of the Soul Music sector and through various label changes in her career has always managed to deliver music and live performances heralded the world over. A celebrated actress as well, Stone has appeared in a number of VH1 TV shows and movies, live theatre alongside fellow singer Brian McKnight in Chicago on Broadway, and also stars in Season Two of TVOne’s R&B Diva’s in 2013 as a mentor and life coach. This will be Stone’s first visit to Australia.

Musiq Soulchild
Australia couldn’t get enough of this mega talented Philadelphian musician during his electric live performances in 2013, and will no doubt welcome Musiq Soulchild back with open arms for Soulfest 2014. A consummate professional, this Neo-Soul Singer/Songwriter has been creating soul stirring music for over 15 years, garnering a legion of mainstream RnB and neo-soul music fans far and wide.

His brand of effortless song-writing blended with infectious soul music has made Musiq the leader of the new soul movement and it is a talent that has taken him from scatting at Philadelphia Jazz clubs to achieving 2 x Platinum albums, 2 x Gold albums and 7 x hit singles including “Just Friends, “Love”, “Halfcrazy” and “B.U.D.D.Y” to name a few.

Musiq has been lorded with numerous nominations and awards from Billboard, BET, ASCAP, BMI and Soul Train, including 11 Grammy Nominations, MTV and American Music Awards. Since the debut of his career in 2000 with his first release “Aijuswanaseing” to his seventh and most recent album “9ine”, with Syleena Johnson released in September of 2013, Musiq has showed consistency and growth as a recording artist and songwriter who has achieved the fine art of blending contemporary R&B, Soul, Funk, Jazz, Hip-Hop and Gospel into a music lovers paradise. In his own words of who Musiq is, he says, “Musiq Soulchild is technically two ideas. Musiq is the front man and Soulchild is the idea behind it”.

Anthony Hamilton
Anthony Hamilton’s voice just keeps getting better with time. The Grammy Award winner’s arresting voice – a favourite staple on the scene since 2003 – recently hailed at No. 1 for 4 weeks on Billboard’s Urban Adult Contemporary chart with his soul-stirring single, “Pray For Me”. The Babyface-produced track is the second single from his fourth studio album, “Back To Love”. Hamilton’s “Pray For Me” and his “Back To Love” album were both nominated for Grammy Awards. Fans began paying attention to Hamilton in 2002, when he sang the infectious hook on Nappy Roots single “Po’ Folks”.

That performance netted the singer the first of 12 Grammy nominations for best rap/sung collaboration. After signing with So So Def, Hamilton scored a platinum debut with “Coming From Where I’m From” in 2003 and two years later followed it up with “Ain’t Nobody Worryin”. Then in 2008 came “The Point Of It All”, and 2009 saw Hamilton win his first Grammy Award for his collaboration on Al Green’s “You Got The Love I Need”. He has contributed to the works of artists from Dr. Dre, Tupac, Young Jeezy, Angie Stone, Jadakiss and Jill Scott through to Santana and Josh Turner. Between his own album sales and collaborations, Hamilton has sold more than 20 million albums. This is Anthony Hamilton’s first trip to Australia.
