Musiq Soulchild , raised (mostly) in Philadelphia, P.A., a soulstar who has developed a sound uniquely his own, by fusing together the essence of "Soul Music" with "Funk" rules and "Hip Hop" swagger, all while making his mark on the charts with his first hit single entitled "JUST FRIENDS" (SUNNY)" from his platinum DEF SOUL release "AIJUSWANASEING" (I just want to sing). And made us ponder the meaning of true affection with second hit simply entitled "LOVE."
Following up with his sophomore album "JUSLISEN," also platinum, debuting at number 1 on the BILLBOARD TOP 200 CHARTS there was no doubt that this wasn't just another here today, gone tomorrow artist. Instead, he merely made plans to be around for the long haul. And with hit songs like "HALFCRAZY" and "DONTCHANGE" he was well on his way, and with a good start.
Staying in the game with this third release "SOULSTAR" featuring hit tunes such as "FORTHENIGHT" and "WHOKNOWS" its clear that "MUSIQ" is not only an artist of substance, but also consistency. He's been nominated by many respected institutions of the music industry including MTV, THE AMERICAN MUSIC AWARDS, NAACP, and with three albums to date has had 3 consectutive GRAMMY nominations! MUSIQ has received awards from BILLBOARD, BET, ASCAP, BMI and SOUL TRAIN and has been supported by major corporations such as McDONALDS, NIKE, COCA COLA, LEVIS and THE GAP. He's toured the country extensively, and is also internationally renowned for not just bringing great music, but also a great show.
Now, in his new home as an ATLANTIC RECORDS recording artist, he's currently working on his fourth album, expecting a 2007 release, while making plans to venture into and break new creative ground. Who knows, might not be too long before you see this soulstar in a theatre near you.
