Bio :
Sule (Sou-Lay)
has been playing music since the age of five and has been plugging away
on his music career for roughly the past15 years. A music career is a
multi faceted thing involving different disciplines and skill sets and
Sule has been involved in as many as possible. He began as a student of
the piano but quickly switched to the guitar. Singing, songwriting and a
naturally good ear came as gifts to Sule and he's used these to launch
himself in various directions.
While playing in rock bands in school, Sule studied classical guitar,
from where he gleaned his "no pick" finger playing style. He
soon went on to study Jazz while leading and fronting the funk rock
group Tribal Groove. At the same time, Sule experimented with Jump Jive
and swing in the group Atomic Cocktail and sang and played guitar for
the internationally known "Montreal Jubilation Gospel Choir".
The choir became a favorite of Celine Dion's, and Sule got to test his
mettle as a soloist for the MJGC opening up for Celine's sold out
crowds. Tribal Groove also stayed busy releasing the EP "Party At
The Sun" featuring many of Sule's compositions, and playing dates
in Canada as well as New York City and Los Vegas.
Eventually the time came to move on and Sule could be heard plying his
skills as a guitarist for various pop groups. He toured with the
Canadian group Sky (EMI), One Ton (Warner), Corneille (Wagram) and Gage
(Wagram), bringing him not only all over Canada, but also to Europe and
North Africa. In addition to that, his guitar work can be heard on
albums such as Bet-E and Steph's (Universal) self-titled debut. All the
while Sule was writing his own material and learning the studio skills
one needs to engineer and produce. Some of this work, a track called
"Song for Lea", can be heard on the compilation "Café
Mélies Vol. 1" (Jajou). Months after Café Mélies' release
the Black Theater Workshop honored Sule with the Gloria Mitchell-Aleong
award for excellence in the arts for his body of work. As another
feather in his cap, Sule struck a deal with "Elite Guitars
Canada" putting him among some of the country's best acts, and
setting him up with some of the coolest new guitars on the market.
Sule has completed his album "The Fall", a collection of ten
songs dealing with the human condition and all it's frailties. The album
displays how he has ventured beyond guitar and mastered several
instruments, while honing his song writing to a sharp point. The style
is predominantly rock with rich undertones ranging from R&B to
Reggae, Jazz to Gospel and Blues to Funk, and these have been
masterfully weaved into a coherent style unique to Sule. He's put
together a great live act to promote "The Fall", he continues
to collaborate with various colleagues, and has completed production on
"Alive" the follow up release set for 09. To see what happens
next, just stay tuned.
The Fall
This is what Sule's been up to most recently. The Fall is a rock album.
Influences still range from Jazz to soul and R&B, but this is
bonifide, straight up rock n roll. "I figured I'd get back to my
roots a bit, turn the amp up to eleven and have some fun." In spite
of the blast Sule had writing and recording these tunes they are quite
serious in nature dealing with issues such as isolation, secrecy and
lies not to mention collective angst. "I'm planning to release a
follow up album after The Fall so that the subject matter of these songs
can help set the tone for the next batch." We'll let the songs
speak for themselves, hope you all enjoy.
