Aniba Hotep & The Soul Collective

Aniba Hotep (translated as Messenger of Peace) is a rare vocalist whose sound has been described as "thunderous honey", jazz and R&B to the taste, gospel and folk going down. A southern girl with the musical ancestry of would-be blues men and country preachers, Aniba has an uncanny ability to not only excel at many genres, but serve as a griot through her conversational method of songwriting. She began as a local celebrity in her hometown at age eight, cutting her teeth in talent shows and composing her own music in academic honors programs, leading her to the famed Apollo theater at the age of twelve. Aniba stepped away from the spotlight in 1995 to pursue her education and figure out where her sound fit in the mid-90's music industry. By 2001 her love or writing and the rediscovery of the artists Aniba Hotep was born and bred on (Mahalia Jackson, Otis Redding, Sam Cooke, and Shirley Murdock) called her to a new arena of music that finally felt like home.

Together with the inspired sounds of the Sol Collective, Ms. Hotep is geared for her life's mission; to interpret and tell the story of a people as only she can. The Sol Collective: Imagine closing your eyes and taking a sip from an infusion of everything that makes soul music beautiful. A medley of textures and tones that stimulate and heal all the frayed nerves in your spirit that are in dire need of a remedy. This spiritual overhaul can only be accomplished by an established clarity of what is essential to the soul.

The Sol Collective is a gifted crew of artists comprised of many things, but namely, 1) talent, 2) an unshakable love for music, and 3) divine intervention.

Aniba Hotep & The Sol Collective is a gifted band comprised of everything that makes soul music beautiful. Aniba Hotep (lead vocals) is an accomplished vocalist/songwriter whose southern gospel roots provide the quiet yet thunderous backdrop to the stark musical images of William Baggett (bass), Aum Mu Ra El (lead/rhythm guitar), Isaiah Sharkey (lead/rhythm guitar), Harry Hunt Jr. (violin/keys) and the soulful harmonies of Neri Ma'at and Caress Sahura (vocals).

La Wuandia is The Power - The Melody - The Music - The Song - The Voice: a renowned multi-talented Singer/Songwriter/Promoter - this truly gifted Songstress is an Infusion of Real Music: Jazz, R&B, Standards and sprinkles of Funk. She has incredible vocal range with unbelievable control and a powerful delivery. Her stage presence is sensual. LaWuandia has a sultry, soulful, full-bodied sound that is hauntingly compared to Phyllis Hyman as well Gladys Knight and Shirley Bassey. Her raw energetic performance is like that of Tina Turner and for this reason in addition to her chiseled limbs, many have coined her "baby Tina Turner" This talented entertainer began her professional career with the unceasing encouragement from her sister Sherry, La Wuandia would go on to receive mentorship from Chicago's Elite promoter Helen Keller-Wooten of HK Productions, whom exposed and began to educate LaWuandia of the entertainment business world. Later La Wuandia caught the ear of Sony's songwriter Michael Gray, whom suggested she take part in an Open Mic Event at the Cotton Club (Chicago, USA), where she received a standing ovation, and was urged by the late actor/singer Jimmy Spinks to return at which both he and the late comedian/actor Bernie Mac would go on to mentored her. This exposure went on to create a dynamic yet enchanting vocalist, who does more than just sing - she creates a mood! La Wuandia delivers masterfully her emotional, heartfelt, riveting expression that satisfies the musical palate of any audience that appreciate 'Real Music.'

La Wuandia is founder of Agape Vibes Entertainment (USA), a recording and entertainment company that provides 'Real Music.' The concept was birthed from the desire to share her gift of singing and delivering performances to be heard and felt the world over to heal and inspire. All who have ever experienced this Artist perfect pitch and energetic concerts Immediately conclude "LaWuandia is the essence of music and the epitome of entertainment," also quoted from her vocal teacher Ms. McLin (Renowned Composer & niece of Thomas Dorsey) La Wuandia has performed in a number of settings; she has opened for the late Bernie Mac, shared the stage with R.Kelly, The Chi-Lites, George Benson and The O'Jays, Norman Connors, Jean Carne among others. She has appeared and performed on the nationally syndicated ManCow Radio.TV show, WGN-TV Morning Show, she has also performed at Buddy Guy's Legend (Chicago) as well in Touring Stage Plays, Award Programs, Cable, Corporate & Private Events and numerous Social Galas and Syndicated and Internet Radio "LA WUANDIA SHE DOES MORE THAN SING - SHE CREATES A MOOD!" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=90u2zpvLpaA
