The Soul Rebels have impressed viewers with two recent appearances on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, featured on NPR's Tiny Desk series with Wu Tang Clan frontman GZA, headlined the global TED Conference, and appeared on the official soundtrack for Universal Pictures' hit comedy Girls Trip.
On the heels of their new supergroup with The Wu Tang Clan, The Soul Rebels continue to expand their international reach touring four continents including Europe, Australia, China, South Korea and Japan. Their explosive stage presence has led to live collaborations with the likes of Katy Perry, Nas, G-Eazy, DMX, Robin Thicke, Macy Gray, Portugal. The Man, Robert Glasper, Pretty Lights, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis and Matisyahu.
The Soul Rebels started with an idea - to expand upon the pop music they loved on the radio and the New Orleans brass tradition they grew up on. They took that tradition and blended funk and soul with elements of hip hop, jazz and rock all within a brass band context. The band has built a career around an eclectic live show that harnesses the power of horns and drums in a deep pocket funk party-like atmosphere. The Soul Rebels continue to chart new territory as they feature in major films, tour globally, and combine topnotch musicianship with songs that celebrate dancing, life, funk and soul.
Cameron’s sophomore album on Mack Avenue, Seven, released in February of 2020, takes his musical vision to a new height, blending Jazz, Fusion, Rock and Metal. The result is a new and innovative sound that will change the public’s view of Jazz. Featuring guest performances by Stanley Clarke, Robben Ford and John “JR” Robinson on the Beatles cover, Getting Better, this Album firmly established Graves as a Jazz giant. The release was very warmly received by media around the world.
Graves was also a key member of actress/musician Jada Pinkett Smith's nu-metal band Wicked Wisdom, providing him an entrée into the world of film and television scoring through the Pinkett Smith-directed film The Human Contract and TV series Hawthorne. Through his soundtrack work, Graves connected with legendary bassist and fellow label mate, Stanley Clarke, and is now a member of his latest band, touring internationally. Cameron wrote several songs and performed on Stanley’s latest release, The Message, and has performed internationally with the Stanley Clarke Band. Cameron has also performed and recorded on albums for Kamasi Washington, Thundercat, Dr. Dre and Miles Mosley.
