Biography
“We’re just trying to let the music become what it wants to become,” says Soulganic’s lead singer and bassist Anthony Rodriguez. “And wherever that takes us, that’s where we’ll go.”
The Music has been the anchor for Soulganic. From the shared exhilaration of stage performances to the insular intimacy of studio work, The Music remains the singular bond between the quartet.
From the beginning, Soulganic has always been known as a genre-bending unit, which was a reflection of the individual members. Drawing upon influences as varied as their origins (extending from New York City to Puerto Rico), Soulganic’s musical landscape quickly matured into a vivid palette of earthy hues: gritty and organic. At the core is each member’s musicality: Cory McClure on drums and keys; Ryan McKeithan handling guitars and vocals; Anthony Rodriguez carrying the lead vocal and bass responsibilities; Lucas Torres adding the signature element as percussionist.
The band's sophomore album "From the Storm to the Sun" was constructed in true independent musician fashion: written, composed, arranged, performed, produced, engineered, recorded and mixed by Soulganic. This process allowed the band's ideas to continue to grow, mature and blossom in their own unique ways.
“Hopefully,” concludes Rodriguez, “what the listener will hear is our honest expression of where we are right now as human beings and as musicians, and that’s what’s most important.”
