Soulidified, later rebranded as Iconyx, is a dynamic and soulful male vocal group formed on Netflix’s innovative 2025 reality music competition Building the Band. The quartet: Bradley Rittmann, Landon Boyce, Malik Heard, and Shade Jenifer, came together through a unique sight-unseen audition process, relying solely on musical chemistry to connect before ever meeting face to face.
From their very first performance together (“Finesse” by Bruno Mars), Soulidified impressed judges and viewers alike with their tight harmonies and palpable stage presence. They went on to deliver standout renditions of Usher’s “U Remind Me” and Miguel’s “Sure Thing,” performances that solidified them as one of the most memorable groups of the season.
In the finale, the group performed a nostalgic cover of *NSYNC’s “Bye Bye Bye,” underlining both their versatility and infectious energy. During this episode, they were formally introduced as Iconyx, though many fans and media continue to know them as Soulidified.
Despite finishing in third place, their impact was undeniable. Judges and fans praised their cohesion, artistry, and uplifting presence. Guest judge Liam Payne even described their stage command as “amazing,” and compared them favorably to groups unlike any he’d seen before.
Since the show ended, Iconyx has remained intact, continuing to collaborate, record, and perform together, even while pursuing solo endeavors.
