When did you guys first get into music? I’ve been singing since I was 4 years old, and Soul has been playing instruments at a young age as well. We both went to school for music; we met each other at North Carolina Central University and never looked back.
Who or What influenced you to pursue a career in music? It wasn’t one specific thing that inspired us; From how it makes us feel, to the impact we have on others by creating/performing. We want to create our own destiny doing what we love, as well as being an example to others that anything’s possible if you believe and don’t stop working. Describe your style of music. Our style is more Neo-Soul, Mixed with a little Jazz, R&B and HipHop. We get inspired by a lot of other artists and musicians so we grab inspiration from everywhere.
How has your music evolved since you joined forces as D. Shawn & Soul? Having an artist/producer combo with the ability to create any vibe of music we want has evolved us into better musicians, as well as men. We have always been able to put our ideas together and make magical things from it.
