20 Years
of Voice, Community,
and Creative Practice
Performance. Mentorship. Community.
For twenty years, Soulstream Music Studio has been a space where singers come to discover their voice, deepen their craft, and step into performance with care and confidence. Soulstream at 20 marks a yearlong celebration of that work — not as a retrospective, but as a living, forward-moving commitment to artists, students, and the Chicago music community.
A Moment
in Motion
Soulstream was built on a simple but powerful belief: that vocal training is not only about technique, but about identity, agency, and belonging. Over two decades, Soulstream has supported singers across genres and experience levels — from those finding their voice for the first time to professional artists refining their performance presence. What has remained consistent is the need for spaces where singers can grow into performance without fear — where learning meets lived experience.
Upcoming
Experiences
Throughout this anniversary year, Soulstream will host a series of performance and learning experiences designed to bridge training and practice in meaningful ways. These offerings may include:
Live performances
featuring professional and emerging artists connected to the Soulstream community
Student and community showcases that prioritize supportive, low-pressure performance environments
Soulstream Voice Lab,
a guided performance-preparation experience for aspiring and beginner singers
Open mic and workshop
-style gatherings that invite experimentation, listening, and
shared learning
Each event is part of a larger arc — one that values process, presence,
and connection as much as outcome.
The Spirit
of the Work
Soulstream at 20 is not a traditional concert series or training program.
It is shaped by mentorship, sustained practice, and the belief that performance should be accessible — not extractive or intimidating.
This work centers:
• mentorship-informed performance
• supportive stages for singers at varied points of development
• Chicago’s musical ecosystems as spaces of learning and incubation
• process over polish, growth over spectacle
At its heart, this is an invitation to practice being artists — together.
