     Along with music, Soulfege also takes pride in its activism. Soulfege believes that everyone should have access to music, and in turn has raised over $4000 to donate to Tunes to Teens and Music Unites: two charities that donate music supplies to underprivileged schools. To further support music appreciation, the group teaches a cappella classes to students at local elementary schools. Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, Soulfege released music videos to the public recorded entirely in quarantine with the hopes of spreading joy and unity. They also organized their first-ever virtual competition, with groups from Maplewood to Michigan, where they were fortunate enough to raise nearly $3,000 in just one night, all for Autism Awareness.

 

     In 2016, Soulfege was featured on three episodes of the Lifetime television show “Pitch Slapped”. In 2017, Soulfege recorded its first single, "You Give Love a Bad Name" with a cappella record label The Vocal Company, available now on iTunes and Spotify for download. Soulfege's second studio single, "Take Me to Church", also available on iTunes and Spotify, was selected to the 2019 Varsity Vocals "Best of High School A Cappella" album. Soulfege's third single, "Fall in Line", is currently available on all platforms as well. Finally, Soulfege's first EP, "blue", is now available on all platforms as well! Soulfege is so thankful for its success, and is eager to see what the future holds!
