Biography

In the late 1980s, Soul II Soul emerged with a multicultural ethos, blending breakbeat hip-hop and house music to create elegant R&B tracks like "Keep On Movin'" and "Back to Life (However Do You Want Me)." Led by Jazzie B, the group's chart-topping success extended globally, earning them Grammy Awards and critical acclaim. Their subsequent albums, including Vol. II: 1990 - A New Decade and Volume III: Just Right, showcased a diverse array of vocalists and continued their U.K. chart success.

Originating from London's sound system culture, Soul II Soul, founded by Jazzie B and Daddae Harvey, transitioned from reggae to soul, funk, and jazz before making a mark in the music industry with hits like "Fairplay" and "Feel Free." Collaborating with talented vocalists like Caron Wheeler, the group achieved international fame with their unique sound and socially conscious lyrics. Despite lineup changes and the tragic loss of member Do'Reen, Soul II Soul's enduring legacy is kept alive by Jazzie B's leadership and their continued performances.
