Band history

Formation

In December 2003, guitarist Vincent Silva and drummer Mikey Samora, looked to start a band. Scott Rodarte, (member of another L.A. local band, Ollin) who was their instructor, called up bassist Damiano Gatto (another of his students) and asked If he would play in a band. Damian said yes and he started to play with Silva and Samora. When no one was always able to sing the vocals to songs, he asked Kai Knight, and Lani DeSoto to join. Kai Knight and Lani DeSoto were vocal students of Scott's. Soon, the three boys and two singers were performing together, collectively known as the Old Souls.

Shortly after forming and practicing for a month or so, they gave their first public performance at the Yosemite Recreation Center in Eagle Rock.

Career

The band played shows all throughout Los Angeles County. One of their biggest was at the BB King Blues Club in Universal City.

The band never did release an album. The closest thing to albums were demos of the band, sometimes given out at concerts. The demos were recorded by Manager Scott Rodarte through Ollin Records.

Kai Knight left Old Souls in December 2006, but continues to perform with the gospel group, Total Praise. Lani DeSoto left the band in January 2007.

Despite the departure of the two members, the band continues to perform in front of audiences.

As of June 2007, the band is on hiatus, possibly breaking up.
