I was first introduced to SoBE LASH's bad-assness when she owned the stage at the SpringBoard South Music Festival... - Rockatnight.com
For the last 3 years, Houston, TX’s unsung heroine of fun, innovative, pop punk-infused hip-hop has been quietly dropping gems and making a name for herself in and around the Bayou City. Coming off of notable appearances at SXSW (Bun B’s Official Bday Bash), Houston’s Erotic Ball and other high octane events in the region, SoBE LASH seemed intent on bottling some of that energy and mixing it with her signature boisterous style for a new compilation of songs that are as loopy and energetic as her personality. - Brash! Blog
SoBE Lash is oh so fierce! Infused with the elements of punk, hip hop, and electronic pop, SoBE’s sound is truly one of her own. The artist cites Joan Jett, Patti Smith, Rihanna, P!nk and M.I.A as some of her musical influences. Similar to her influences, SoBE’s music is fun, rebellious and raw. In her role of being a rock star goddess, the girl is a natural! - Hive Society
Sobe Lash fell into my inbox and it came as a pleasant surprise. The Houston artist has crafted a completely unique sound and she’s definitely ready to be mounted on the next level. “Feelings+Flights” is sonically exceptional and it’s loaded with slick lyrics like “I don’t catch feelings, baby I just catch flights.” It all works for Sobe and if you like it as much as I do, you can stay tuned for her CounterCulture project to drop in the near future. - Boi1Da
With musical influences like Spice Girls, Pink, Nirvana, Marilyn Manson and her producer broadening her interests even more, Sobe has a sound that is truly her own and a true love for performing. - Houston Trendz Magazine

Bio
If Channing Elizabeth Paul is the adroit, singer-songwriter with a gift for catchy melodies and playfully audacious lyrics, then alter ego, SoBE LASH, is the animated, out-sized personality that delivers these quirky arias with the electric verve and feverish energy of a crazed ringmaster.
Born in southeast Houston, TX and raised on the soulful sounds of artists like Betty Wright, Patty Labelle, and Whitney Houston, Channing began to combine these influences with her love for 90’s pop music acts like the Spice Girls at a very young age. Though she often cites contemporary artists like P!nk and Beyonce as influences, she also frequently references the cutting edge pop music of icons like Debbie Harry of Blondie and “all time favorite” Michael Jackson. The attitude, confidence and musicality that is the common denominator of these successful pop acts pervade the SoBE LASH sound and image, however; she has built on these attributes by incorporating the slick swagger of hip hop and the raw energy of electronic, punk and dance.
“As far as pure talent, she’s got that x 100,” collaborator R. Shilo of Shiboi concedes, “but what separates her from everyone else is that she is continuously pushing the envelope. She’s relentless, totally obsessed, and always redefining the boundaries”.
On stage, she and her band are a torrential force of nature and her persona is a carnival of divergent styles and conflicting personalities. The music is frenetic, adventurous, and rife with girl-power humor, sass and sexuality. Anchored by the dense, innovative production of music partner MSKO, and armed with unparalleled energy, talent and creativity, SoBE LASH delivers a shot of adrenaline, an alternative perspective, and makes it all look easy.
