With Hillsong United, Planet Shakers, our own Parachute Band and so many more, you’d think there wouldn’t be much room for another worship act. However, every so often Kiwis get together and produce some pretty special praise and worship. This five-track EP, from a bunch of very talented young Wellingtonians, is a perfect example. Lead vocalist Maaka Fiso has a stunning voice and their musicianship is very tasteful. However, what really sets this EP apart is the earnest and worshipful intent that overflows throughout; even down to their call to salvation on the inside cover art. Standout track is the beautiful ballad ‘Emmanuel’. - War Cry Salvation Army Magazine

Bio
The Band -
Soul Servant band is a group of passionate musicians committed to genuine worship, worship that comes from the depths of the soul, worship that touches the heart of God. Their aim is to write songs that connect people with God, to make famous the name of Jesus, to grow the Church and to inspire heart felt worship in believers all around the world.
Soul Servant band started as a church worship team in our home church Lifeswitch, in the Hutt Valley. Since forming, they have recorded an outstanding EP, received air time on Life FM and served at countless Christian events playing alongside bands like Rapture Ruckus, Esther Melody Band, Shooting Stars and Black Boy Peaches to name a few. With songs that speak to the heart and an incredible live show, this band is one to watch out for.
The Sound -
Elements of rock, soul and pop are what make up Soul Servant’s unique sound. Their sound is one that exudes life and leaves you feeling good. Their self-titled EP recorded by Geoff Duncan at Triple Star Studios is a phenomenal EP making noise around the Wellington region. The combination of tasteful groove, layered guitars and an exceptional vocal performance by Maaka Fiso makes this a stand out EP. The songs speak to your spirit and inspire you to draw near to God.
The Name -
The name Soul Servant comes from the band’s purpose and portrays their heart. It simply means a heart for servanthood and describes an attitude taught and lived out by Jesus. This attitude is one the band strives to live out day by day and is the cornerstone of the band’s vision. This vision comes from the understanding that as worship leaders and musicians they exist to serve not to be served, to contribute to creating an environment in which people are encouraged and inspired to reach out to God. Whether it’s in church services, camps, outreach events, conferences, youth events, or even just when someone puts on a Soul Servant CD in the car, Soul Servant’s heart is to serve the Lord in helping people connect with Him.
