BIO:
Few individuals can command a multi-format landscape quite like Souleo. At an age when most are having a hard time navigating the everyday and mundane, this 22 year old media prodigy is quickly establishing himself as one of the most formidable forces in radio, print, philanthropy and modeling.
Raised in the entertainment Mecca of New York City, Souleo was always poised for greatness. His mother, who passed away in early 2007, is his greatest inspiration, "My mother’s spirit is still with me and forever will be. One of the greatest gifts she gave me is the joy of having fun and celebrating everyday of life," he said, "For me that’s the spirit that I carry with me as an on-air personality. I want to celebrate life and inspire people to have a good time."
Souleo is, indeed, inspiring people in all that he does.
Souleo is a popular DJ at the historic 95.5 WBRU and is one of the hosts of Southern New England's #1 weekly show, "The 360 Degree Black Experience in Sound,” landing interviews from a diverse and respected group of luminaries such as the father of "Soul Train" Don Cornelius and Liza Minnelli, as well as current chart-toppers like Ne-Yo and Dashboard Confessional. In addition to his engaging celebrity interviews, Souleo has demonstrated a social commitment by developing segments like "What’s On Your Mind?" and "Lift Up the People," the latter which profiles celebrities that are actively giving back to the community and the former giving listeners a platform upon which to air their concerns.
Bolstering his radio resume, Souleo recently joined "The Sonny Mac Show," on 105 KJAMZ in Tulsa Oklahoma, as the voice of Marlon Stylez (a humorous character that delivers weekly horoscopes).
In addition to his radio work, Souleo is a regular on the the NYC open-mic poetry circuit and has appeared as a model for MTV/MasterCard, Scholastic Books, Tae Bo, and more.
Souleo's proven knack for the spoken word complements a talent for the written word, as well, acting as music editor of aRude Magazine, contributing to Sister2Sister Magazine and flexing his creative muscles as a songwriter. He is also the resident interviewer for the Amazon.com backed site, Amie St. And just in case you thought there was one inch of the media backdrop that Souleo had forgotten to cover, he is also Head of A&R for the independent record label, TarPaul Records and a fashion designer.
Perhaps most telling is Souleo's dedication to giving back to the community that helped foster and develop his talent. His company, Souleo Enterprises, co-produces an annual benefit concert for youth music education programs. "For me just interviewing celebrities and being on the red carpet means nothing if I can’t use those opportunities to raise awareness and be a voice for positive change," he said.
An Ivy League-er (he’s finishing up an English degree at the prestigious Brown University) with the world at his feet, there is no doubt that Souleo’s name will be on everybody’s lips in the months and years to come. Souleo has proven that with determination, passion and, of course - soul - anything is possible.
