The close proximity between the artists and audience creates an atmosphere unlike a traditional arena concert, allowing every guest to experience the music from just steps away.\nMore than a concert, Southern Soul Takeover represents another milestone in the continued growth of the genre. As Southern Soul continues expanding its audience across the country, King George and Cupid stand among the artists leading its modern evolution, introducing new listeners to a style of music that celebrates storytelling, fellowship, dancing, and Southern culture.\n\nAbout King George\nKnown as the “King of Southern Soul,” King George has become one of the genre’s fastest-rising independent artists. Raised in a musical family with a gospel-singing father and choir-director mother, he developed his passion for music at an early age, singing in church before teaching himself to play guitar.\nBefore emerging as King George, he recorded under the rap name Yung Holliday, releasing independent projects before shifting toward Southern Soul in 2020. His unique blend of classic blues, old-school R&B, gospel influences, and contemporary production quickly resonated with audiences throughout the South.\nHis breakthrough arrived in 2022 with the viral success of “Keep On Rollin'”, a song that generated tens of millions of streams and transformed him into one of Southern Soul’s biggest touring attractions. Additional favorites including “Friday Night,” “Too Long,” “Girl You Got It,” “Night-Time,” and “Leave & Party” have continued to build an impressive catalog celebrated throughout the Southern Soul and trail-ride communities.\nOperating independently through KG Music Group, King George has built one of the genre’s strongest independent success stories while collaborating with artists including Snoop Dogg, Boosie Badazz, Tucka, Frank Johnson, and West Love.\nAbout Cupid\nBorn Bryson Bernard in Lafayette, Louisiana, Cupid is a multi-platinum recording artist, songwriter, entrepreneur, and one of the most recognizable names in modern Southern Soul. Affectionately known as the “Line Dance King,” Cupid built an international career by combining Southern R&B, blues, gospel influences, and infectious dance rhythms into music that brings generations together.\nBefore becoming a worldwide sensation, Cupid developed his sound throughout Louisiana’s independent music scene while attending the University of Louisiana at Lafayette on a track-and-field scholarship. His early recordings helped establish what he would later define as “Swingout Music,” an energetic blend of Southern Soul and Gulf Coast dance music.\nInternational recognition arrived in 2007 with the release of “Cupid Shuffle,” the multi-platinum global anthem that became a permanent fixture at weddings, family reunions, sporting events, festivals, schools, and celebrations around the world. Today, the song remains one of the most recognizable line dances ever recorded.\n\nAs Founder and CEO of T.O.C. Music Group, Cupid continues releasing successful Southern Soul and trail-ride favorites including “FLEX,” “The Cookout,” “Down South Shuffle,” and his latest collaboration, “Pootie Tang,” featuring Noel Gourdin.\n\nKing George\nCareer Highlights\nKing George represents a new generation of independent Southern Soul artists who have achieved national success without relying on traditional major-label systems. His breakout hit “Keep On Rollin'” introduced millions of listeners to his signature sound while establishing him as one of the genre’s leading voices.\nHis success earned him a featured role on the nationally recognized Blues Is Alright Tour, while his independently released projects Juke Joint Music and Cookout Music further solidified his place within Southern Soul. Through streaming platforms and grassroots touring, King George has generated millions of listeners while helping introduce contemporary Southern Soul to audiences across the country.\nCommunity & Impact\nBeyond the stage, King George continues investing in the communities that supported his rise. Through KG Music Group, he hosts annual Back-to-School Giveaway & Concerts, providing backpacks, school supplies, and educational resources to local students throughout South Carolina.\nThe organization also produces community-centered events that support minority-owned businesses while promoting emerging Southern Soul artists through performances and industry exposure. King George’s independent business model has become an inspiration for many aspiring musicians, demonstrating that artists can successfully control their own music, publishing, and touring careers while maintaining a close connection with their fans.\n# # #\nCupid\nAwards & Recognition\nCupid’s career has earned numerous milestones, led by the multi-platinum success of “Cupid Shuffle,” one of the most commercially successful dance records of the 21st century.\nHis music has been featured in major motion pictures including Step Up 2: The Streets and Jumping the Broom, while partnerships with brands such as Walmart and McDonald’s have expanded his influence beyond music.\nIn 2025, the State of Louisiana officially recognized Cupid as the “Line Dance King of the World,” honoring both his musical achievements and his cultural impact.\nCommunity & Impact\nCupid has built a remarkable legacy centered on health, wellness, youth mentorship, and community empowerment. Following a stroke in 2016, he became a certified fitness trainer and created CuRobiks, an innovative wellness program that combines aerobics with Southern line dancing to promote healthier lifestyles through music.\nThrough his Positopia Foundation, Cupid mentors aspiring artists and young entrepreneurs while encouraging positive, family-friendly entertainment that brings communities together. His outreach emphasizes education, creativity, and personal development, helping young people navigate both the music industry and life beyond the stage.\nCupid has also supported national charitable initiatives including The Teletón, local community events, and programs that promote arts education, minority dance organizations, and neighborhood celebrations.
