“Somatic Voicework™ is the future of voice education as far as I am concerned. Working with a certified Somatic Voicework™ coach has been a transformative experience for me and it has dramatically changed my approach to teaching as well; the results have been profound. It is holistic, grounded in science, and comprehensive. It takes into account what it means to use the entirety of the human voice from the physiological to the emotional. And because it is meant to address all types of singing and music, it aligns with the values of diversity, equity, and inclusion that are so desperately needed in the music education of today.” ..

Our Story

Soulstream Music Studio is one of a select handful of studios in the Midwest concentrating solely on Contemporary Commercial Music - i.e. genres such as pop, R&B, jazz, hip-hop, gospel, blues, rock and more...

Based in Chicago, IL - Soulstream Music Studio of Contemporary Voice provides music instruction, mentoring, and artist development as part of a voice coaching program. With techniques that are catered towards singing in most of the Contemporary Commercial music genres, students are guided through discovering their own voice and understanding the physical make-up of vocal sound and production. Michele Thomas is both the owner and instructor at Soulstream Music Studio

Soulstream Music Studio stands out among other vocal studios because we are not about "one-size-fits-all" vocal instruction. First and foremost students get to be involved in their own instruction which means they have the freedom to choose the kind of music that they want to learn and that excites them to learn about! Students also get to explore their musical aspirations be they big or small, and to create goals that are realistic and customized to them as individuals.
