Let’s dive deep into the catalogs of genius, innovative musicians to discover hidden gems and learn from their musical journeys and creativity. My goal for this blog is to keep the legacy of funk, blues, and soul alive and to provide a place where we can all learn, share, and connect more over the music that moves us!

ABOUT THE WRITER
I’m Talia — a music journalist, aspiring musician, vinyl collector, and Taurus with a penchant for timeless music!
I grew up in Memphis, Tennessee, the city that gave the world Stax Records, Hi Records, Beale Street, and some of the most important music ever recorded. Al Green, Otis Redding, Johnnie Taylor, and Isaac Hayes were the soundtrack to my childhood.
Even as a kid, I noticed that the music from the past was just as good as any of the music from the present, which moved me to explore previous decades and find those timeless gems that stood out to me.
I’ve spent years diving deep into the catalogs of soul, funk, blues, and gospel’s greatest architects — not just the hits, but the deep cuts, the B-sides, the forgotten gems, and the stories behind the sessions. I’ve been collecting vinyl for over 10 years, building a collection that spans soul, gospel, jazz, funk, blues, hip-hop, and rock & roll.
Soultaurean is where all of that research, listening, and passion lives.
