Musiq Soulchild Biography

Musiq Soulchild was among a crop of R&B artists who arrived during the 2000s with no debt to the flashy and sexually aggressive sounds that prevailed throughout the preceding decade. The Philadelphia-born Taalib Johnson grew up in a household that provided him with an education in '70s soul. Additionally inspired by the contemporary likes of D'Angelo and Lauryn Hill he applied his musical upbringing to a love for noncommercial hip-hop and refined his romantic and affable everyman style across a string of six major-label albums four of which went either gold or platinum in the U.S. He honed his stagecraft at open-mike events and at showcases hosted by the Five Spot and Wilhemina's until his management team Jerome Hipps and Michael McArthur (aka Mama's Boys) facilitated a deal with Def Jam's Def Soul subsidiary. Johnson debuted in 2000 with Just Friends (Sunny) which first appeared on the soundtrack for Nutty Professor II: The Klumps. Recorded mostly at DJ Jazzy Jeff's hometown A Touch of Jazz studio also contained Love a number two R&B hit that made impact in December. Written with Carvin Haggins and Andre Harris and produced by Harris and Vidal Davis it helped the album reach platinum status and was nominated for a Grammy in the category of Best Male R&B Vocal Performance.
