"I took the road less traveled by refusing to conform or be a part of perpetuating the stigma associated with being openly gay in the music industry. When I was offered the opportunity to sign a "major" record deal (HA!) I walked away because it was suggested that I consider going in the closet. I knew that one day I would be able to sing my authentic feelings through my music and that there would be a platform that would fully celebrate me in my authentic expression," Deepa Soul says. "I never thought it would be ME who was crazy enough to believe I could CHANGE the music industry by actually building the platform LoL."
