Bringing you house music to move your soul.

Born and raised in Newark, NJ, DJ Sodé grew up in a house where music wasn’t just background noise—it was the heartbeat of home. From the smooth jazz sounds of CD 101.9 to old school love songs on repeat, music shaped her world early. But it was her brother, DJ SteveBass, spinning house tracks on a Barbie turntable and a transistor radio that planted the seed.

Her love for house music fully took root in 1984 when she stepped into the legendary Club Zanzibar. Tony Humphries was on the decks that night—and from the very first track, she was hooked. “It touched my soul,” she says. “Sometimes I hear a song and get goosebumps. It’s like I go somewhere else… and I don’t want to come back.”

That kind of soul-deep connection to music defines DJ Sodé’s style. Her sets are filled with beautiful, sexy, deeply emotional house music—curated with an ear for detail and a heart for sound. “I listen for the horns, the violins, the guitar,” she explains. “I want it to feel like escape—like the most beautiful sound you’ve ever heard.”

Her musical inspirations include Jill Scott, D’Angelo, and Prince—artists who, like Sodé, create beauty with intention. She credits DJs like Tony Humphries, Timmy Regisford, and Larry Patterson as influences who shaped her ear and refined her high standards. “It’s not that I don’t like other DJs,” she laughs. “I just know what I like.”

Today, as a proud resident DJ on AbusiaRadio.com, Sodé brings all of that history and heart to her weekly show, The Soul of Sodé. She invites you to experience music that moves you—not just to dance, but to feel.

In 2025, she returns in full force with Back to Sodé: A Soulful House Resurrection, an all-day music celebration honoring her journey and sound. And for those who want to carry that spirit everywhere they go, her exclusive Back to Sodé merch collection is now available. Use code back2sode at checkout to save.
