How Pkolo is Redefining Independent Music From Haiti to Global Hits with Soundplus Record
Written by b87fm on 08/09/2025
Born in Haiti, Pkolo has spent the past 15 years carving out a name as one of the most versatile forces in the music industry. Guided by his mission to unify artists into making hit records, he has built a reputation for bringing together talent, vision, and business acumen in a way few can replicate.
Inspired by Dr. Dre, whom he considers “the best” in the game, Pkolo has followed a similar blueprint—blending creative excellence with entrepreneurial savvy. His brand is defined by versatility, capable of moving seamlessly between genres, sounds, and markets, while maintaining a standard of quality that stands out in the competitive music landscape.
Pkolo is the founder of Soundplus Record LLC, a fully independent record company operating for over 13 years and now valued at $1.5 million. The company boasts major distribution through Empire and holds intangible assets that include a Grammy-nominated artist. Among his most notable achievements is the development of Grammy-nominated artist Fousheé from the ground up—a testament to his ability to spot and nurture world-class talent.
His track record includes three RIAA plaques and recognition from prestigious institutions such as the London Critics’ Circle Film Awards, National Film Awards UK, Leo Awards, and Black Reel Awards. Pkolo also made history as the first citizen to bring a RIAA plaque to Elizabeth, New Jersey.
Today, Pkolo is expanding his influence with new projects, including the highly anticipated record You So Bad by Meduchi and Big Body. His forward-thinking plans include converting Soundplus Record’s intangible assets into liquid assets, backed by a certified appraisal, to fuel even greater growth and investment opportunities.
With a foundation built on independence, versatility, and visionary leadership, Pkolo is proving that an independent brand can thrive at the highest levels of the music business—without compromising creativity or control.
