Small girl. Big voice.

The Voice of a New Generation
Soleil is not simply performing... she is telling stories. Her music reflects the emotional world of a young artist learning how to grow, speak up, and stay true to herself while navigating a loud, fast-moving culture.
Her debut single, “Small Girl in a Big World,” introduced her as a young pop-rock artist with a message rooted in courage, vulnerability, and self-discovery. The song speaks to feeling overlooked or underestimated while still finding the strength to make your voice heard.
Soleil’s growing catalog also includes original music such as “Consumerist Dream,” “Stepping Stones,” and “Miami on My Tongue,” each showing a different side of her creative identity. Her work moves between confidence, reflection, and empowerment — rather sensible for someone still very early in her artistic journey.

Miami on Her Tongue
Soleil’s single “Miami on My Tongue” captures the color, heat, movement, and flavor of the city she calls home. It is a love letter to Miami... the ocean air, the mango sweetness, the music, the culture, and the feeling that the city is always alive.
The song is also connected to winning the Elevate Miami’s Elevated Tracks 305 competition, where Soleil received strong community support for her Miami-inspired anthem. “Miami on My Tongue” brings Miami energy, Latin-inspired rhythm, confidence, and feel-good pop vibes.
Music. Acting. Advocacy. Impact.
Soleil’s artistry extends beyond recording music. She has worked with Disney as a voice actor and performer, appeared in national campaigns, and continues building a presence across music, film, television, and advocacy. She is also a winner of Young Talent Big Dreams in the Original Composition category, according to her official website.
As a musician, Soleil has studied piano, trumpet, voice, and performance. Her background includes Miami Music Project, National Children’s Chorus, Wynwood School of Music, and Young Musicians Unite. Her music page notes that she earned Student of the Year recognition from Miami Music Project in 2023.
As an advocate, Soleil is passionate about ocean conservation, youth empowerment, kindness, and encouraging children to use their voices for good. She has appeared in ocean-focused events, including World Oceans Week at The Explorers Club in New York City, and has shared platforms connected to environmental and youth-centered causes.
S.A.M Series Spotlight
“I hope every fan who has either seen me or is familiar with my work comes away with more knowledge than they came in with—whether it’s logistics about statistics in ocean conservation or understanding who they are becoming as people through my art. But most importantly, I want everyone to feel seen and understood in a society that is always on, always busy, and always creating new insecurities and needs.”
— Soleil River Nation
Soleil River Nation joined Samantha Ann for Dia'ani TV’s S.A.M Series, opening up about music, acting, representation, family, ocean conservation, and the dreams shaping her future.
In the interview, Soleil spoke with remarkable honesty about growing up as a young performer, balancing school with creative work, finding inspiration through her parents, and seeing herself represented through artists such as Olivia Rodrigo. She also shared the heart behind “Miami on My Tongue” and “Underestimated,” two songs that reveal her instinct for turning personal feeling into music that other young people can recognize themselves in.
