SoulSeesBest Now Streaming on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon, and More

September 16, 2025

After more than twenty years of research and development, the self-taught artist of many names, has finally made his catalog of work available to the public, at least to the major streaming platforms of the era. Since 2004, Joshua Lucero, aka SoulSeesBest, has been learning, unlearning, relearning and experimenting with sound. Beginning with his first desktop computer and a few online message boards, the California grown, New Mexico native has finally reached an evolutionary milestone in his creative timeline that would allow the public access to his work. 

The proudly self-proclaimed underground artist has been toiling in the internet underground, since downloading mp3's was the standard. After sharpening his rhymeskill in the Audio Battles forum on Soundlick, the veteran indie music platform, he took an interest in the engineering aspect of making music. Upon discovering the freeware, Audacity, for creating multi-track recording, he began using a Casio CTK-2000 to build songs, one instrument at a time. 

In 2019, upon receiving his first iPhone, he had also gained access to the Apple Operating System's GarageBand, a modest, yet powerful, music production software. Like Audacity, it made multi-track recording possible but, imbued with hundreds of instruments, samples, and engineering tools, it would open up the world of sound in phenomenal ways.

By the time a the MacOS desktop version of GarageBand came into play, the possiblities would only continue to grow. Drawing from such a vast world of sonic inspiration, and now armed with some of the most powerful production equipment the world has ever seen, for free, the artist has finally found himself in a position to express himself on a truly global scale.

In yet another branch of creative exploration, SoulSeesBest was created to express a discontent with a culture losing itself to the digital world. Born with Keratoconus, a degenerative eye disease that renders him legally blind, he began to explore the art of clay and primitive pottery. Finding something fulfilling to do with his hands, and without the need for 20/20 vision, was a spiritual experience. It encouraged him to marry his obsession with the digital world to the tangible one that has been slipping away from so many of his peers in the vein of social media. 

Now, focusing his energy on the enhancement of his other senses, as opposed to mourning the loss of one, the time was right to bring the music that told the story, without words. As an accomplished athlete, he would often say, of his soccer skill that he "can see with his fee." It wasn't uncommon for him to recall, before his vision deteriorated, closing his eyes when he swung at a pitch, as if he could feel where the ball was going. 

SoulSeesBest is about seeing with more than just the eyes. It is about using the senses in concert. One does not simply listen to this music. The artist asks that you use all of your senses to experience his work. Sure listen, but also, feel it, taste it, touch it, see it.
