What happens when you mix a little Al Jarreau, Marvin Gaye and Terrence Trent D'Arby with John the Baptist and the Psalmist, David? You get Soul'd Out! ... "Soul" for short. He's true to his name and bringin' it on his debut project "Soulitude" released in December of 2002. This project represents nearly 20 years of being "ahead of his time" musically as far as the genres in Christian Music would allow. But that's all changed now thanks to pioneers in the industry from Andre Crouch to Fred Hammond and Kirk Franklin and more recently "Nureau" Tonex (he says that this new genra represents music that previously had no place in Christian music stores so a "new row" had to be created). What was once considered too worldly or not "Christian" enough is being accepted by a large audience. Soul, the oldest of five children was born to sing and entertain. From the days of performing for the adults at family gatherings for spare change and harmonizing with his siblings, to a lifetime of singing in gospel choirs, to leading soulful worship in his church, Canaan Christian Fellowship where his father pastors, Soul has always had a vision that he would one day sing before kings to minister the goodness of the Lord. An evangelist with fire in his heart, his pen could be considered a flame thrower. His lyrics seem to come straight from the heart of God. Soul believes in bringing the message to the world in a culturally relevant way. "My desire is to be like Jesus and 'touch the lepers' of today (the bangers, the abandonned, the cultural intellects, even the carnal Christian that has temporarily lost site of the way). God has not called me to merely pray them out of a situation, He's called me to go to them and love them" says Soul.
