Eli Paperboy Reed has established himself as one of the leading figures in the modern soul revival, earning acclaim for his passionate vocals, vintage sound, and deep respect for the traditions of Southern soul, gospel, rhythm and blues, and blues.

His breakthrough album Roll With You (2008) was followed by major-label releases including Come and Get It! (2010) and Nights Like This (2014), which helped build an international reputation through extensive touring, festival appearances, and song placements in film and television.

Over the past decade, Eli Paperboy Reed has continued to expand his artistic range while remaining rooted in traditional soul music. Alongside acclaimed albums such as My Way Home (2016), 99 Cent Dreams (2019), and his soulful tribute to Merle Haggard, Down Every Road (2022), he has worked as a producer, mentor, and educator, notably developing the acclaimed group The Harlem Gospel Travelers through his work with Harlem’s Gospel for Teens programme. Now approaching two decades as a recording artist, Reed is widely regarded as an influential voice in contemporary soul.
