Christina Stogsdill (lead vocals), an Indianapolis transplant, grew up onstage. She toured the country with gospel choirs and the top rock and soul bands in the Midwest. Indy's loss is San Francisco's gain. Her voice will blow your mind.

Katrina Mason (co-lead vocals) was discovered harmonizing along with the jukebox in one of San Francisco's top nightspots. Soul Purpose made her a very decent proposal, and her sultry voice has graced our band ever since.

Kidd Funk (bass and vocals) lets his resume do the talking. He's played with the Thompson Twins, Collective Hands, The Fixx, Steve Lukather (Toto), the Bar-Kays, Jorge Santana, G.Q., Pete Escovedo, Azteca, and Oingo Boingo.

Cory Clar (guitar) has headlined venues all over the Bay Area, from the Catalyst down south to outdoor festivals in Marin to smoky clubs in North Beach and wide-open stages on the Embarcadero. From soft rock to hard funk, it's his thing.

Louie Flores, Jr. (trap drums and latin percussion). Louie discovered his passion for music at an early age -- and is currently a music major in SJ State's acclaimed jazz program. When not hitting the books, his tympani, or his xylophone, he airs out his funky backbeat with Soul Purpose.

Calixto Manriquez (keyboards) has played with the Latin Kings, Mystic, Latin Effect, and the Jammin' Band. He's the icing on our cake.
