"you can try to fix me, honey..."
"Red" by Nashville artist and producer, SOHEILL, feels from the onset like a massive cinematic piece of art. Interestingly, anthemic and intimate at the same time. it feels like something the size of those huge drive in theater screens or something on display on a stage within nature like at Red Rocks at night with an audience holding up their cell phones in place of lighters. It might be the urgency of the beat, or the swelling beautifully impactful synths with deep textures but amazing lo-fi coats of sound around the edges, or the amazing sort of 90's post rock electric guitar lines, or those goddamn evocative arpeggios, or SOHEILL's plaintive wail that feels at once lush but also like that of a good friend drowning his sorrows and dashes of longing on your shoulder. In the end, "Red" has a indelible sense of majesty while feeling like a crushing hug longing for what was.

Over the past few years, Soheill has transformed himself + his sound while staying true to his rock roots. He has become enthralled by the use of synthesizers and drum programming in his production to echo his lyrical and melodic interpretations.
“Being a producer and performer is a part of my journey that is very important to me. I’ve worked with many talented producers, but I felt like a part of me was missing. I wasn’t really expressing myself in the way that I envisioned. That is why I decided to fully produce all my music moving forward. I feel more honest and comfortable when creating in my home studio.”
In 2018, Soheill moved from Los Angeles to Nashville to change his perspective on life. Since then, Soheill has gathered over 500,000 streams on Spotify + Apple Music, has been featured and interviewed on iHeart Alt Rock Radio 97.5, been on rotation at Nashville’s Lightning 100 Radio Station, co-produced his EP “Somewhere Between Love & War” with Sam Kassirer (Josh Ritter Band), and has toured the west coast and the southwest.
During quarantine in 2020, Soheill explored his production style and wrote a number of songs that he plans to release as singles in 2021. Stay tuned!
