Soleil Engin

music writer

Soleil Engin is an undergraduate student at the University of Chicago where she studies Public Policy and Human Rights. Soleil is the songwriter, lyricist, producer, and guitarist of the band Puddlejumper. She is also a staff writer for Slumber Magazine and SoulTalk Magazine. Soleil cut her teeth at punk and hardcore shows during her high school years in Los Angeles--she even has The Smell tattooed on her ribs. This scene sparked Soleil’s love for DIY art and the punk scene in general. From mellow dream pop concerts to raging DIY thrash punk shows, Soleil has seen it all and hopes to share her love of emotionally charged music through her writing. Her dream guitar is a Charvel Surfcaster and when she’s not playing guitar or studying, you can usually find her anywhere from reading in bed to head banging in the center of the pit.
