Origins of the Genre

David L. Wadley—award-winning author of The AI Revolution Will Not Be Televised—is the creator of the groundbreaking music genre Stock Soul. Drawing on the sound-editing and mixing expertise he honed as a Hollywood supervising sound editor and independent filmmaker, Wadley has produced and edited hundreds of music videos as a YouTube influencer known as The Price Bandit, earning millions of views. Stock Soul is his signature sonic fusion, blending the timeless artistry of classic rhythm and blues with a fresh, modern awareness of financial culture. His journey through sound design, storytelling, and personal finance converged into a single vision: a new musical language where soul meets wealth consciousness.

Stock Soul is a transformative blend of the emotional richness of classic R&B and soul with the principles of financial literacy, wealth-building wisdom, and stock-market storytelling. Rooted in warm harmonies, smooth vocals, and groove-heavy instrumentation, Stock Soul turns investing concepts into relatable themes, uplifting narratives, and soul-inspired metaphors.

In this genre, love songs move with the rhythm of market swings, empowerment anthems teach the value of ownership and assets, and slow jams explore the emotional side of financial journeys. Stock Soul isn’t just music — it’s a lifestyle: a soundtrack for people pursuing generational wealth, emotional growth, and a deeper connection between heart and hustle.

What Stock Soul Is

The Sound of Wealth

In Stock Soul:
 

  • Love songs move with the rhythm and volatility of market swings.

  • Empowerment anthems teach ownership, assets, and abundance.

Every track becomes a reminder that your financial life is a story, and you are the protagonist.

The Stock Soul Manifesto

More Than Music—A Lifestyle

​1. Wealth is emotional.
 

Money is not just numbers—it’s confidence, self-worth, heritage, and healing. Stock Soul gives sound to the emotional journey of wealth-building.
 

2. Ownership is empowerment.

From owning your sound to owning your future, Stock Soul champions financial autonomy and generational wealth as acts of resistance and renewal.
 

3. Learning should feel good.

Financial literacy doesn’t have to be dry or intimidating. Soulful music creates the perfect gateway into mindsets and habits that shape long-term success.
 

4. Culture drives behavior.

Music influences mood, mood influences action, and action influences wealth. Stock Soul turns cultural rhythm into financial momentum.
 

5. Heart + Hustle = Harmony.

You don’t have to choose between soulful living and ambitious goals. Stock Soul blends them into a single frequency you can live by.
 

Stock Soul is a mindset. A movement. A soundtrack for the financially focused.
 

It empowers listeners to:
 

  • Build financial confidence

  • Pursue generational wealth

  • Heal their relationship with money

  • Align emotional wellness with financial strategy

  • Connect heart and hustle through sound

Stock Soul isn’t just what you listen to. It’s what you move like, think like, and build like.
