Soul Stage LA™ : Where Artists Rise Together.
Made in LA
Los Angeles has long been a vital incubator for soul, R&B, Hip Hop, and neo soul — shaped by communities of color, creative independence, and a culture where music, dance, and DJ-ing evolved together. From the 1940s–50s, Central Avenue anchored Black musical life, laying the foundation for groove-driven sounds and social dance traditions. In the 1960s–70s, artists like Marvin Gaye and Stevie Wonder blended soul with West Coast polish, while television stages such as Soul Train, elevated street dance styles — locking, popping, and freestyle — into national art forms.
By the 1990s, LA helped fuel neo soul’s rise, offering studios, live venues, and DJ culture that supported artists like Erykah Badu and D'Angelo. Today, LA remains a crossroads where soul music, DJ-ing, and dance continuously evolve together.
OUR SOUL PHILOSOPHY
Soulfulness is not defined by race, color, nationality, or religion. It is a reflection of the rhythmic and melodic nature of our spirits. It is shaped by struggle, sacrifice, and heartache, and carried forward by the joy of surviving the journey.
Our Roots
Let’s be honest…building a career in the entertainment industry is a grind.
Soul Stage LA™ was founded with a clear purpose: to raise up emerging artists by creating a platform where their work can be showcased and celebrated..
Each event is designed to give back to the City of Angels by bringing together artists and enthusiasts — creating a community of multiculturalism and expression.
Deeply rooted in the tradition of R&B and soul — from the East Coast to the West Coast — we recognize the depth and power of Los Angeles’ creative talent.
In honor of this cultural legacy, we’re bringing soul back to the forefront of live entertainment, one performance competition at a time.
