Finding the right groove means digging deep. With a love of vintage soul and funk, The Soul Motivators have mined their musicality to bring you a fresh revival of a retro sound. Featuring numerous veterans of Toronto’s thriving underground funk scene, The Soul Motivators are an 8 piece, 3 horn explosion, whose rough, tough & soulful funk with a hiphop flair that motivates people straight to the dancefloor. It’s that vintage Daptone vibe with a Toronto style all its own, inspired by current and classic funk innovators like The Budos Band, The New Mastersounds, El Michels Affair, Breakestra and Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings. For The Soul Motivators it’s all about keepin’ it real, keepin’ it right, and keepin’ it tight.
