RBA’S MUSICALITY IS ABOUT THE ART OF “SOULTHEATRE”
This so-called genre comes from the love of grooves that bring the soul to the theatre; deep, sweet, yet illuminating; crafting the art of dancing, singing, and the chemistry of white noises.

RBA produces this “SoulTheatre” record with a root of Jazz, Soul, and R&B; with a touch of 808 influenced beats. He also DJs with a range as far from the sweet melodies of old school R&B, the shift beats of House, Disco, and Garage, ’til the floating sounds of nowadays’ Neo-Soul & Future Bass. It’s a wide range of music, almost everything that will probably make you always do the D.A.N.C.E.
