<"b000bdh4wi2999"> About the Artist
Since Rik Waller reached the top ten in ITV1s Pop Idol , appearances on BBCs Top of The Popsâ€? and his singles reaching No 6 and 25 in the Charts, Rik has kept himself busy as a media celebrity and working towards his real ambition to be recognised as a great natural soul singer with his own band.

The voice of a great singer can never be denied. Rik Wallers Mighty Soul Band are now performing the songs Rik has always wanted to sing, great classics made famous by the likes of Otis Redding, James Brown, Ray Charles, Sam Cooke, Sam & Dave and Jackie Wilson to name but a few, along with some stunning new original material... Pop Idol, he never really wanted the falseness of all that. As audiences young, old and new, hear, discover and rediscover the big man with the big voice they will see that he has naturally developed into Rik Waller the Soul Man.

As soul music continues its development from its beginning in the 1950's Rik Wallers Mighty Soul Band are synonymous with the ideals of the roots of this extraordinary music of great passion and vitality in today's music scene on both sides of the Atlantic. Along with the Godfather of British Soul Geno Washingtonâ€? and artistes such as Van Morrison who bring great soul music to British and international audiences, Rik Wallers Mighty Soul Band who have the melody and rhythm of soul in their blood will without doubt be a cult act (just like their heroes of soul) for many years to come.
