Original Soul
Original Soul is a man blessed with a gift to reach into your heart and enlighten your mind with his realism and insight. He stands out with his lyrical skills and fearless approach to topics rarely discussed by the majority of artists considered “successful”. His versatility is unparalleled, easily transitioning between rap and song with comparisons to D’Angelo and Mos Def, although he lists names like KRS-One, Guru, Talib Kweli, The Roots, and Common when asked of his influences.
Some of Original Soul’s most popular songs are built around topics that are mostly ignored by today’s artists. Original Soul is a native of Dallas Texas and has long worked with local artists on many levels, including his team of musicians on his label, M4g Entertainment. He has produced tracks for numerous artists, along with producing the music score for the Soul Rep Theatre Company’s stage play “Noxide Square” (2002) which received stellar reviews from critics for the Dallas Morning News and Ft. Worth Star-Telegram.
He is also a 4-time Dallas Weekly Newspaper “Best Of Black Dallas” award winner, a 3-time Villa Koola Radio award winner, a 2-time “Wildout Radio” award winner, and the recipient of The Wildout Radio “Underground Legend” award. He has recorded 19 studio albums, written more than 350 songs, and produced nearly 1000 more. He is also the co-owner and operator of M4g Radio, and has more than 30 years of experience in the music industry.
