Musiq Soulchild or Musiq (/ˈmjuːsɪk/; born Taalib Johnson; September 16, 1977) is an American singer and songwriter whose style blends funk, alternative rock, blues, jazz, some gospel influences and hip hop.
Musiq was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, grew up in a strict Muslim household and is the oldest of nine children. At an early age, Musiq left home and dropped out of school at the age of 17. It was during that time Musiq started to build a reputation for being musically gifted, beat boxing for MC's, free styling on the open mic circuit, scatting at a jazz club, or just performing a cappella in the streets of Philadelphia, which is where he got the name "Musiq" and later added "Soulchild", which is intended to respect and represent the legacy and traditions of past soul artists. He cites as his inspiration such icons as Stevie Wonder, James Brown, Patti LaBelle, Billie Holiday, Sly & the Family Stone and Ray Charles.
Musiq Soulchild has had 2 platinum albums, 2 gold albums and 7 hit singles. He has received awards from Billboard, BET, ASCAP, BMI, and Soul Train. He has also earned award nominations from MTV, the American Music Awards, the NAACP, and 11 Grammy nominations, including 3 for his 2007 album Luvanmusiq.

Yamaha Drum Artist Mark Colenburg is 100% music. Having played since age 2, the drums are no longer an instrument for Colenburg. They're an extension of his body and a vehicle for artistic expression. As drummer Mark has had the opportunity to perform with some of today's greats-- Common, Mos Def, Lalah Hathaway, Kenny Garrett, Kurt Rosenwinkel, Lauryn Hill, the list goes on.

INDIA.ARIE is known and cherished by fans and fellow musicians as a poet, a songwriter, a daughter, a producer, a musician, a sister, a singer, an advocate, a friend and a philanthropist -- but she is possibly best known for the love in her music that has inspired and motivated people worldwide. From the moment that her very first single “Video,” and her multi-platinum debut album Acoustic Soul were released in 2001, India's music established an extraordinary bond of trust, affection and communication with her followers. Her sophomore release the platinum selling Voyage to India in 2002 was hailed worldwide by critics. The New York Times called it “music that only further enhances her reputation as an artist of substance; centering on her acoustic guitar and confident but restrained vocals...
Robert Glasper is probably the most known unknown artist of recent times. His sound is a mixture of R&B;, Soul, Jazz and Hip Hop. Hailing from Houston, Tx his sound is the new standard in contemporary fusion jazz. In our opinion @ QuiteTrill he is a modern Herbie Hancock or Ramsey Lewis. He has won 3 Grammy awards for his work yet his name will draw a blank stare from a lot of people. He has collaborated with many great artists such as Jill Scott, Erykah Badu, Muziq Soulchild, Ledisi, and most recently the highly acclaimed "To Pimp A Butterfly" by Kendrick Lamar. His quartet remains in tact and tour often, that makes the live performance so dope. These guys are a real band they practice and tour together and have an instinct for how the other band members operate. We make it a point to see ...
Over the last decade singer/songwriter Eric Roberson has successfully been producing and recording his own music without the chagrin of support from a major record label. In the span of a decade, his CD’s “The Esoteric Movement,” “The Vault 1.0,” “The Vault 1.5,” “The Appetizer,” “Erro Live in DC,” “Left,” and “Music Fan First” continue to carry the Neo-Soul legacy important to black music. He’s been what people in the industry have called a “veteran” because he released his first Top 40 R & B hit “The Moon” on Warner Brothers while still attending Howard University. Upon completing college, he inked songwriting deal with EMI Records; then eventually working for DJ Jazzy Jeff’s A Touch of Jazz Productions. It was while working with Jeff that he wrote and produced songs for Jill Scott, Wil...

If you've spent any amount of time on YouKnowIGotSoul over the past few years, you'd know that Musiq Soulchild hasn't gone anywhere since the release of his last album "MusiqInTheMagiq" in 2011. As he returns with the new album "Life on Earth", he brings with him the experiences learned creating his duets album with Syleena Johnson and alter ego projects as The Husel and Purple WondaLuv. As we've heard with the first single "I Do" and the additional song releases, it's fair to expect another great album from an artist who's already built a legendary career. The Warryn Campbell executive produced album is his first as an independent artist and represents the next chapter of his career. YouKnowIGotSoul sat down with Musiq Soulchild once again during a recent press run in New York City and di...

At age 30, bassist, composer, and producer Derrick Hodge is a modern “jack of all trades.” His depth and knowledge of hip-hop, jazz, soul, and gospel has allowed him to excel in the record industry. Derrick’s many accomplishments have made him one of the most requested musicians as of date. The Philadelphia native was playing the bass in church at age 7. While attending middle school, he was learning and mastering both the upright acoustic and electric bass. Because he didn’t have formal training for the bass, Derrick learned and played the bass by watching his peers play the violin in concert band and orchestra. After completing high school Derrick attended Temple University where he received his Bachelor’s Degree in Music. Throughout his career he’s worn many shoes in the business. He...

Ohhhhh
Last night you said you wanted to talk wit me
I was at work and you know how my job can be
So then you said it could wait until later on
Cuz it wasn't all that important so I guess we can talk when you get home
So then you got me thinking about what I might have done
Wondering if I did something wrong (something wrong)
But then again and within this time I thought that you were mad
It could've been that just made you happy
Chorus:
If there's anything that you want, you need
Don't be afraid to ask cuz youâ're my girl
If there's anything that you want, you need
Don't be afraid to ask cuz youâ're my girl
Girl don't you my whole world stops for you
And in this relationship you are the person I run to
And I appreciate how you respect my space
But on the real I'm there for anytime of day
You should never start to wonder where you stand
Cuz everyday I want to show you that I'm your man
Chorus: x2
Cuz these nobody whos got your back like I do, girl
Oh no baby see no trouble
I'm your man
I'm gonna be there for you
Chorus fades
