Soul Motivation Records is a recording company based out of New York City (formerly St. Louis MO). We are dedicated to making quality hip-hop and R&B music that inspires others to overcome their obstacles as well as showcasing the positive effects this music can have on the world.
OUR HISTORY
Soul Motivation Records was founded by Chris Swan and launched on June 1st, 2017. After years of being a working musician, playing “Brown Eyed Girl” for a living and drinking all the alcohol in St. Louis, Swan decided he needed a change. The addiction was killing him and draining him of any energy to put toward creating original music. When he quit drinking, things started to become clearer. He realized he hadn’t been doing the one thing he was put on this earth to do and that was creating music that inspires people. That’s when Soul Motivation Records was born with the mission of creating hip-hop and R&B music that brings positivity and hope into people’s lives.
