Lexis is in Toronto and drops by his talented friend Raf Reza’s studio for another superb session of the Back 2 U show. Tons of discoveries, personal stories, laughs and cries. 

What record would you send back in time? What do you like to sing in the shower? A record everyone loves but you hate? What record makes you cry? And many more.

Growing up in Tokyo, living in the UK, and now based in Toronto, Raf’s sound has progressed over the years drawing inspiration from his many different homes. His debut album ‘Ekbar' continues to explore his obsession with all things dubwise, heavily referencing his UK connections as well as introducing Bengali cultural references into his work.

We are an online community radio streaming 24/7 from a wooden shack in the heart of Brussels’ historic “Parc Royal”.

A meeting point for music freaks from Brussels and beyond. A tiny kiosk bar serving eclectic music and drinks. Sometimes, in sunny summer days, a safe space to dance under the trees.

The Franklin County crooner is constantly captivating crowds and moving people to reach for their phones to bear witness, as he offers listeners what he calls "music you can feel." Exuding a smoky, impassioned sound reminiscent of classic soul-soothers like Johnnie Taylor and Marvin Gaye and contemporary neo-soul giants like Bilal and D’Angelo, the Souly Ghost has amassed a following from NC to LA to the United Kingdom as a singer who possesses the right amount of vocal "soul power" and stage presence to "move the crowd" when and wherever he performs.

He is well known in the North Carolina artist community, having established himself for many years as a crowd-pleaser on the open mic circuit as well as a highly requested background vocalist. He has performed as a vocal accompaniment to such prime acts as The TON3S fka The Hamiltones, R'mone Entonio, Niito, Aseelah Battles, Phoenix Lei, Tish Songbird & The Applauze, as well as several other NC Artists.

His recorded collaborations include projects with kidmarshall, Pharoahe Monch, Prince Po (Organized Konfusion), Wildchild (LootPack), Conway The Machine, 38 Spesh, Che Noir, Statik Selektah, Amber Navran, Guilty Simpson, NIRO, OC from NC, Nacynze, Willie Walker, Oswin Benjamin, Shambo Medina, The 54 Poets and with producers Doc Junya, Madlib, Theory Hazit, Aaron Green, JeMarcus Bridges and Nottz.
