“Everybody knows that the Sauce is HOT LIKE FIRE” - That's what people across the world are saying about Detroit-based HotSauce. Influenced by great artists such as Earth Wind & Fire, Prince, and Mint Condition, HotSauce is pushing the boundaries of modern music. Each member of the eight-piece band plays multiple instruments and adds a unique flavor to the musical potluck.

Formed in 2001, HotSauce was a rising star on the Detroit jazz scene before embracing a mainstream vision. Turning to influences from various genres- Jazz, Soul, Rock, Gospel, & Funk to name a few- the band developed a unique style to satisfy any musical appetite.

With a buzz compared to the Jackson Five and N'Sync phenomena, HotSauce has developed a strong following as one of the hottest bands in the Midwest. They have performed all over the country, including the North American International Auto Show, the Ford Detroit Jazz Fest, many colleges & universities, and numerous national, regional, and local television & radio appearances. Their energetic stage show has people everywhere talking about Detroit's new flavor.

To experience HotSauce is to experience real good, feel good music, contagious energy, and a dynamic live show. “Our goal is to promote the 'Elements of L.I.F.E.' - Love, Inspiration, Freedom, & Entertainment. We aim to make 'timeless' music: great songs that people will play for years to come. When you experience HotSauce, you'll experience LIFE."

When we sat down and talked about why HotSauce is in this business, we all agreed we wanted to have a positive impact on the lives of people who experience our music. We summed it up by saying "HotSauce will promote the elements of L.I.F.E." We want our music and our lives to show people Love, give Inspiration, let them feel Free, and of course to Entertain and have fun with our audience! (Come see us in action... you'll understand!)

In both our music and our business (That's Hot Inc), HotSauce is all about promoting the Elements of LIFE. That's what makes us different: In the end it's not about us, but how we were able to make a difference in someone else's life.
