Mariam has a master's degree in Commercial Songwriting and Production from Nottingham Trent University. Her academic background, combined with her innate talent, has allowed her to excel in creating her own music, videos, and shows. Her extensive performance experience includes performing with major artists around the world. She has graced stages such as the Royal Albert Hall, Hollywood Bowl in LA, O2 Arenas, Jazz Café, Invictus Games, and the Brit Awards. Collaborating with and performing alongside renowned artists such as Gladys Knight, The 1975, Tyla, Little Simz (Sault), Paloma Faith, Corinne Bailey Rae, Miça Parish, and Beverley Knight has enriched her artistry and broadened her musical horizons, making her a compelling and seasoned performer.

Gershom's musical journey began at an early age in church, where he discovered his passion for singing. His career is marked by performances at some of the most prestigious venues, including The Hollywood Bowl, Grand Ole Opry, Royal Albert Hall, Queen Elizabeth Hall, Buckingham Palace, The Royal Palace of Monaco, and the Lehman Theatre in NYC. Gershom has had the honor of sharing the stage with legendary artists such as Chaka Khan, Whitney Houston, George Michael, Joss Stone, Stormzy, and Luther Vandross. These collaborations have not only enriched his musical repertoire but also solidified his reputation as a versatile and accomplished performer. His notable involvement as a member of The Kingdom Choir, which performed at the Royal Wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, further highlights his esteemed position in the music industry.

Soul Eras welcomes you to tailor the setlist for your big day. For a standard 2x60mins or 3x40mins performance, you can select up to 10 songs from the band’s repertoire, and they will endeavor to accommodate all of your requests given a month’s notice. For short notice bookings, you are still very welcome to send over your suggestions, and as always, the band will do their utmost to accommodate as many requests as possible. Soul Eras is also very happy to learn an ‘off the menu’ song request for you, such as a first dance or your favorite song.

Upon booking, you will have a dedicated band manager as your point of contact to ensure the band is 100% on the same page as you well in advance of your event. This means you can count on excellent, fast, friendly, and warm communication at all times. On the big day, every detail will be ironed out, ensuring smooth sailing for both client and band alike. Soul Eras’ band members are very friendly and flexible, taking great pride in providing excellent musicianship and creating a really fun atmosphere wherever they go. The band has a vast list of songs spanning different genres and decades for you to pick from and can play complimentary playlist music (which you are welcome to tailor) before, in-between, and after live sets until curfew. The band can be on-site for up to 7 hours, or until midnight as standard, and they are happy to accommodate early arrivals before 5 pm and late stays after midnight if needed. The band is also able to provide a band member DJ-ing should you wish to have a live DJ before, between, or after band sets. With a full PA and lighting rig provided, all you need to do is book Soul Eras, and you can tick the entertainment off your to-do list in one fell swoop because Soul Eras will have you covered.

If you have any questions about the band and what they offer, please don't hesitate to reach out. We’ll be more than happy to help.
