With a string of awards from Billboard, BET, the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers and an impressive 13 Grammy nominations under his belt, the multi-platinum Musiq Soulchild has always strived for musical progression.Īfter the public was all too ready to stamp the singer as the next big neo soul act following the immense success of his bouncy, omnipresent 2000 debut single “Just Friends (Sunny)” and its powerful follow-up ballad “Love”-which has since become a go-to millennial wedding anthem-Musiq flipped the proverbial script. Life on Earth, an album executive produced by multi-instrumentalist Warryn Campbell (Kanye West, Alicia Keys, Mary Mary, and DJ Quik), Musiq’s 7th studio album was a boundless evolution of an artist who for nearly 20 years has made a career out of confounding his critics while turning on followers to one of the most effortlessly smooth and adaptable voices of his generation. The album peaked and was nominated for Soulchild’s 13th Grammy Nomination. In September 2017, he released his 8th studio album and first 24 track double album entitled “Feel The Real” leading with the new hit single “Start Over”.
#Musiq soulchild love so many things free
He built a reputation for being musically gifted, beat boxing for MC’s, free styling on the open-mic circuit or just performing acapela for strangers on the streets.ĭeeply inspired by the R&B/Soul sound of the 70’s he uses the name “Soulchild” as a way to show respect and admiration to his biggest musical influences such as Stevie Wonder, Donny Hathaway, Marvin Gaye and many others. Amen~.Musiq Soulchild is a hip-hop soul artist, born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Then you, too, at whatever age you may be, will experience the infinite love of God through the creativity that you have allowed Him to unleash in your own heart~. He WILL respond to you! But it depends ENTIRELY on your OPENENESS~~!! So, brothers and sisters, ask God what your gift is! Then faithfully, openly and wholeheartedly be patient to hear His answer. On top of that, it was not until I was open to recieve the answer without my ideas of what my gift should be, that I was able to RECIEVE it!! So my gift has always been there! And my answer had always been there! But what God was waiting for was my question and my OPENNESS (this is KEY) to recieve the answer! It was not until I asked the question that the answer was able to come into my awareness. But, I couldn't recieve it as the answer to question I had never asked before. People had told for the longest "You should write a book!" haha. something I do automatically without thinking about it?"Īnd the moment I asked this question, a love-filled thought jumped into my heart chakra and suddenly I was aware, "WRITING!" "God, what is my gift? What is my Soul Purpose? What is my passion. All of these gifts I've done half-heartedly, never fully endeavoring in ANY of them. I've done all of these things, including writing for the longest time! But it's always been a mystery to me as to what my God-given gift was. I can draw, animate, paint, make interesting music, talk (hehe), dance, sing, act. Sure, I, many other people, have many talents. God is waiting on His TOES for you to ask Him what your gift is! Your purpose! Your life goal! Aha! Now THAT'S simple isn't it? It's MEANT to be! if they would only do ONE simply thing: Ask.Īsk God what your gift is. What most people don't know is that they have access to their gifts, to knowing them. That's so miserable! But it doesnt have to be that way! So I have to work this God-forsaken job!" hahahaha They look at other people who KNOW their gifts and live it to the fullest in envy, saying to themselves, "I wish I had a gift. Many, many, many, MANY people in this world live life and die NEVER to accomplish or even KNOW what their God-given gifts may be. Chocolate High feat Musiq Soulchild - India.Arie
