The Funk Division, once known as The Soul Garden is a soul jazz and funk group formed by Mark Duffus (Blak Prophetz) in 2005 in Walsall near Birmingham in the United Kingdom. They were a studio production band that rehearsed in Mark's custom built recording studio on a weekly basis with session musicians and friends. They were involved in remix projects for established recording artists like Joyce Sims, Justin Timberlake, Preeya Kalidas, Warren Stacey and more. Mark represents the Funk and Soul sides of the band where as Derek (DK) King later joined to represents the House & Garage mixed versions of the songs that he produced. The two have since worked together as a key outfit with different session singers and musicians whilst still providing not just their own material but also remix/productions for many other well known recording artists including Fonda Rae, Glen Goldsmith and more. In 2019, Xiomara Mukwendi later joined the band as their lead vocalists.
