Soultru - is a hip-hop/soul crooner based out of the Midwest calling the Quad Cities home for 30 years. As a child and teenager, Soultru performed in church and school choir. He also showed an interest in the written word in the form of poetry. It didn't take long for the young man to combine his love for singing with his poetic skills, and he began to compose original songs. Pulling in his influence from gospel music and listening to Fred Hammond, and Smokie Norful along the way of a sheltered childhood crippled his love for new genres.
