Performer Application
We’d love to invite you to perform at Soho Unplugged, an intimate night dedicated to true storytelling through music and art.
At Soho Unplugged, each performance is followed by a powerful backstory, offering a rare glimpse into the heart of the artist and what drives their creativity. We believe music and art are therapy for the soul, and understanding the “why” behind a performance can be just as healing for the audience as it is for the artist.
Event Details
Date: Tuesday, September 23rd Time: 6 PM – 10 PM Venue: Karma Sanctum Soho Hotel
More Than Just a Performance
This evening is designed for those ready to engage, reflect, and connect. As a performer, you’ll be sharing your unique narrative with an audience of “Creative Witnesses” — individuals who are eager to listen, learn, and be part of a shared creative experience. It’s a fantastic opportunity to showcase your work and connect with a community of fellow artists and kindred spirits.
Instead of judges, we’ll have mentors on the night who are keen to discover the real story that drove your performance. They’re there to connect with you on a deeper level and understand the authentic journey behind your art.
We are excited to see your talent! Please fill out the form below to apply.

The bridge between music production and being an NLP master practitioner is more natural than one would initially think. Having been an artist and knowing the extreme highs and the sudden drops makes individuals susceptible to vulnerable mental and emotional states. The rollercoaster rise of being an artist can lead to early burnout, which is what happened to Dar.Ra. He needed to find the core of his story, and NLP helped him to help others find their peace and restore faith; it also allowed him to do the same for himself. Rather than going for therapy, he became his own internal therapist, an intense journey that started 30 years ago.
Having been through the highs and lows and continuing to write and produce music gives Dar.Ra a perfect position to help other artists steer their ship to the port of their true destiny, which is ultimately to be heard and respected for their story and artistic visions.
