JSOUL

A native of Baltimore, JSOUL truly defines the meaning of being a singer, beat maker, writer and producer.

As a triple threat, his sound captures the very essence of soul and hip hop that has been absent in today’s music. Taking his cues from Soul Masters past and present has inspired him to create quality music of inspiration, pain, pleasure, life, and love with a style that emanates eclectic, funk-da-fied soul.

His albums are a culmination of his last 13 years in this industry as an indie soul artist. It’s with that momentum he steps into the full roll of Producer and draws from the experiences in love gained & lost, triumphs, and failures new and old. Creating a sound that is familiar to true school soul music lovers and real hip hop listeners.

He began writing and creating music at the age of 20 with musicians who served as pillars in the Baltimore music scene and crafting what would be his signature sound. Performing live would serve as the foundation for his musical journey.

In 2008 he signed with Blackout Studios and released his label debut “Love Soldier” followed by the 2010 release of “Black Sinatra” which he fully produced and featured Indie Soul Juggernauts and grammy-nominated artists Eric Roberson, Natalie Stewart (Floetry), W. Ellington Felton, Carol Riddick, Julie Dexter as well as DMV star Substantial.

In 2013 he released “Blue Midnight” yet another sonically pleasing self-produced soul/hip hop album that received great acclaim reaching the #3 spot on the top 40 Soul Charts for its single “Beautiful Nights” and featuring artists Deborah Bond, Philly MC Hezekiah, Cali native Joy Jones, and Dmo Soul.

In 2013 He released his first Instrumental project “Blue Symphony” as a part of a hip-hop based production series. “Being a visual artist as well I believe that Sound is just colour in the sonic form, so every production represents a different vibe and paints a different picture and I named the projects according to the colour I saw while making it” – JSouL
