Soul Food

If R&B has proven to be commercially successful, why hasn’t the Australian music industry maximised on this trend to nurture emerging local R&B acts? A big question with plenty of potential answers, however we cannot unpack that question without first exploring locally.

Join SoulFood where we will be taking the first step into seeing whether Melbourne has a taste for R&B! Every week six local R&B fusion tracks will be featured on-air alongside six international R&B tracks to highlight equal talent our homemade artists possess.
