Aim: Bringing our album to life with your support—help fund, create, and be part of something truly special.
Imagine this…
The unmistakable groove of Soulpersona’s signature sound, fused with the golden brass of Bryan Corbett’s razor-sharp horn arrangements. A cinematic soul-jazz odyssey—rich with vintage grooves, lush harmonies, and raregroove flavours, straight from a bygone era.
Well, you don’t have to imagine it anymore—it’s real.
The album is alive, breathing, and nearly complete. It just needs one final dusting of magic… and that’s where you come in.
We’re raising £2,500 to bring our brand-new jazz-funk-inspired album to life — a vibrant collaboration between producer/composer Soulpersona and acclaimed trumpet player Bryan Corbett.
🎺 About the Project
This is more than just an album—it’s a journey through 12 original tracks inspired by soul, disco, acid jazz, All rooted deeply in the golden era of 70's and 80's jazz-funk.
All tracks are composed and produced by Soulpersona, with horns composed and exquisitely arranged by the incredibly versatile Bryan Corbett, who becomes a one-man horn section—playing trumpet, flugelhorn, trombone, and flute. It’s got that timeless feel, like a rare vinyl gem you’d stumble across in a record shop—channeling the spirit of Freddie Hubbard, Maynard Ferguson, Herb Alpert, and the KPM/Bruton library sound.
Who is Bryan Corbett?
Bryan’s musical path is anything but ordinary. As a touring member of The Brand New Heavies, and a collaborator with artists like Us3, Beverley Knight, and Siedah Garrett, Bryan has brought his horn magic to stages across the globe—from jazz clubs to festivals to performing as a soloist with the BBC Concert Orchestra. His sound moves effortlessly across genres, always with style, soul, and groove.
🎯 Why We Need Your Help
This album has been a labour of love, recorded remotely over several months without us ever meeting in person. Now, we need your support to bring it over the finish line.
Your pledges will help cover:
✨ Additional live musicians
🎛️ Final production and mastering costs
🎨 Original album artwork design
💿 Why Digital Only?
We love physical formats—but due to increasingly complex and costly postage rules (especially for EU backers), we’ve made the decision to make this crowdfunder a digital-first release.
This means:
✅ No unexpected customs fees or delays
🚀 Instant delivery of high-quality audio & digital liner notes
💯 Every penny supports the music, not shipping companies
We may explore limited physical editions later (perhaps via Bandcamp, who handle EU VAT), but for now, we want to keep things simple and smooth for everyone.
🙌 How You Can Help
By pre-ordering the album or contributing to the campaign, you’re helping us:
Release music without compromise
Keep independent music alive and thriving
Bring a new chapter of cinematic jazz-funk to life
Whether you've been with us since day one, or this is your first introduction—thank you for your support. We can’t wait for you to hear what we’ve created.
Love & Respect,
SoulP & Bryan
