Director) collaborated on a project in Cuba. During this time they developed

intelligent, creative, and solid musicians; JT Kim (bass), Jasper Gahunia (DJ,
keyboards), Madette Mendoza (lead vocals), Dyalis Nunez-Machado
(percussion, vocals, vibes), Darryl Joseph-Dennie (piano, keyboards), and
Gary Lee Hill (guitars). And 7Sould was born. More recently 7Sould added
three new members to the band; Arik Arakelyan (keyboards), William
Lamoureux (violin), and George Murga-Martinez (trumpet).
The members of 7Sould have diverse musical influences and cultural
backgrounds which help the band to approach new music with fabulous
creativity. While all members are Canadian, they have roots all-over the
world specifically from Cuba, Jamaica, Poland, Armenia, The Phillipines, India, Quebec (Canada) and Korea. These differing multicultural upbringings help bring history,
heritage, and modern sounds to the music of 7Sould.
