Smiling Souls

Smiling Souls is made up of talent musicians from the islands of the Pacific who bring together a diverse musical sound that is influenced by Jazz, Reggae, Hip Hop, Dancehall and old school Funk. Their signature style is honed in by their brass section, which has attributed to the unique blend and sound they create. With the upcoming release of their first album, Smiling Souls is ready to share with the world their talent, passion, and love for music .
Smiling Souls has been playing together since 2003 with the exception of a few band member changes. The four Tu'itupou brothers got an early start in their musical careers. They were taught by their father and have played for many different venues over the years. The group also includes long time friend, Jonathan Tufuga, and his wife, Kelly Settle Tufuga. Mikolo holds down the bass and the latest edition to the group are brothers Sifa and Tevita Uesi , who make up part of the brass section.
Smiling Souls would like to recognize & thank previous members for their contribution to the Smiling Souls over the years, Ana Tafisi, Sau Tafisi, Fred Taholo, Lui Fa.
Although they admire Reggae legends and greats, the real inspiration behind their music are their families, who continue to encourage and support them.
They strive to play music that comes naturally to them and hope that in the process, their music will unite people regardless of race, class and gender!
