While their sound may be considered in the same musical sphere as Jill Scott, Sa-Ra, D’Angelo and Platinum Pied Pipers, Soul:ID is more than just a band. Their unique story has given shape to a concept - dubbed "Afropean Soul" - which reflects their virtues and beliefs. Soul:ID tells the story of today’s African and Afro-Europeans overcoming ethnic, social and economical barriers while promoting positive messages and images of what functioning multiculturalism can achieve. Soul:ID is a product of this African/European renaissance and recognize the importance of celebrating it.

After having been the first urban act ever to play Rwanda, Soul:ID have been labelled ‘Ambassadors of Peace’. It is their intention to be a synonym for a more peaceful and beautiful synergy of mixing cultures beyond the borders of ethnicity or social, mental and geographical borders. One of the group’s plans is to put together an initiative for peace coming from the cultural sector rather than the political one. There are in discussions to organize a series of free festivals in the three capitals Kigali, Bujumbura and Kinshasa attracting international attention to the areas and improving the local economy and culture.

In the time they’ve been together as a group, Soul:ID has worked with many notable international acts such touring with world-rhythm pioneer Zap Mama throughout Europe, headlined the legendary Jazz Café in London, and individually worked with artists like Wyclef Jean, Craig David, Robert Palmer and Youssou N’Dour.
