They rep the "Town" otherwise known as Oakland, California, a place known for crime and danger, but filled with incredible art, music and a beacon of social justice and activism. That's where Antique Naked Soul was born in the Spring of 2012. Two-time Oakland Indie Award and Oaktown Music Festival Nominee, Antique Naked Soul (ANS) is a beatbox-sing soul band. They build and loop beats live on stage using only their voices but they create as much sound as a full band of instruments. There are four beautiful souls in this band: Candice "Antique" Davis, Tommy "Soulati" Shepherd, Jayme Brown and N'gala McCoy. They got together by accident or happy coincidence. They came together to play one show. Lead singer Antique recalls, “We had no name, no identity really. After the show, we got such a great response that we looked at each other and said, ‘We gotta keep doing this!’. So we started taking songs that I had recorded, but not released, and translating them into beatbox and later, my husband was just casually saying, ‘y’all do naked soul’ and that is how we got the name.” It was important to them to have a message and to be hip-hop preservationists. Soulati states, “We knew that we wanted to preserve a classic hip-hop flair through beatboxing and stay really soulful with our vocals, but we also felt a deep calling to stay true to Oakland’s political roots. We wanted to be the soundtrack of the struggle, the beautiful struggle for freedom and equality.” Antique Naked Soul released their debut album October of 2013. 

Antique Naked Soul has performed with several incredible artists including, Talib Kweli, Les Nubians, Yasiin Bey aka. Mos Def, ?uestlove, Blackalicious and have performed at renown venues like Yoshi’s Oakland, the Regency Ballroom, The New Parish, Herbst Theatre and DNA Lounge to name a few. They are currently working on their second album and a theatre piece called “The Naked Soul: A Soundscape of Black Shame”. They are excited to share their music and art with the world. “We believe in the power of music to transform people and culture. We want to be world changers.”
