ANIBA HOTEP & THE SOL 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. 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:
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. 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 Nathional Warren (keys), William Baggett (bass), Aum Mu Ra El
(lead/rhythm guitar), Isaiah Sharkey (lead/rhythm guitar), Harry Hunt Jr. (violin/acoustic guitar) and the soulful harmonies
of Neri Ma'at and Caress Sahura (vocals).
