About
Soultru is a Singer-Songwriter first but will at times lean on his versatile ability to write just about any style of music. Putting out songs like We - a 2 chord acoustic love song to Backiotomy - a catchy soulful song about carrying the weight of the world where he switches from a melodic singing voice to more of a rap flow. Growing up in a rougher part of Davenport, Iowa will make you into something a bit different when you grow up on gospel and 90s to 2000s rap/pop and R&B. So with that, his influences are from all across the spectrum of genres. Gospel artists like John P. Kee and Fred Hammond but then mainstream artists like John Legend and loves the writing styles of blue-eyed soul artists like Allen Stone and James Morrisons of the world. Growing up singing classical music and learning all the ways to sing by imitation his days of writing poetry before writing songs have helped him in his journey of crossing genres and adding rap verses to help find a different way of expressing his emotions.
