Levitt AMP Galva Music Series: Soultru

Soultru

Soul, RnB

Soultru is a self-proclaimed hip-hop/soul crooner based out of the Midwest, calling Quad Cities, IA home for 30 years. Combining his poetic and lyrical talents with a soulful voice. Pulling in his influence from growing up around gospel music and listening to Fred Hammond and Smokie Norful along the way of a sheltered childhood crippled his love for new genres. As time passed, he found artists such as Gavin Degraw (who he credits as his biggest vocal influence), Brian McKnight, Anthony Hamilton, and Kanye West, who led him to find John Legend. He is among a group of young, talented, and driven artists that are the backbone of the Quad Cities indie music scene, a scene that has developed into a hidden gem in the Midwest for indie music of all genres in recent years.
