The brainchild of the prolific Amos Larkins II, a well-schooled multi-instrumentalist and one of the premier architects of the Miami electro / house scene as well as one of the main originators of the highly influential Miami bass scene, Sole Soma presents a deep house vibe centered around female vocals and future forward beats that sound like nothing else on the market today. After earning high praise from their first full-length , InchPleasure No Pressure,Inch this wonderful new collective is about to their second album, entitled InchOff Of Your Mind.Inch Whereas the first album was centered around the vocals of the Congolese songstress Sole Soma, who left Africa for the Bahamas and eventually settled in Miami, what they were able to achieve was an overall sound that was more than the sum of it's parts - they had indeed created something entirely new, which they never could have achieved without Sole's original vibe.

Sole Soma recalls first falling in love with her native Congolese music as a child, then Caribbean music from her short stay in the Bahamas. In Miami as a teen, she drifted toward the Euro-pop sound and underground dance music scene and eventually fell in love with house music. She most enjoyed music that leaned in a tropical direction which somehow reminded her of her youth. A natural born vocalist, Soma began writing lyrics and music in her late teens and then started performing - first at house parties and then a few select nightclubs, and began to develop a fervent following. A modern take on classic house, the enthralling single InchMoveInch sets the stage for her upcoming full-length InchPleasure No Pressure.Inch Featured along with the new single are 4 bonus mixes including instrumental and acappella versions.
