The artist SoulsSun expresses his creative diversity as a songwriter, arranger, producer and vocal performer. A self taught pianist, he also plays saxophone, drums and percussion. Captivated by many R&B greats, some of his most impressionable influences include: Marvin Gaye, James Brown, Stevie Wonder, Donny Hathaway, Sly and The Family Stone, Parliament / Funkadelic, Rick James, Prince, Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Maxwell, John Legend, Timbaland and Kanye West to name a few. Although he has encountered many musicians who have helped him develop as an artist, he pays special homage to friend Nick Hawkins (R.I.P.), hometown heroes Eugene "Beaver" Howard, Rudy Love & The Love Family, cousin "Lord" Byron Pyles and Allen Cato. In Las Vegas, it has been The Brown Brothers, Harold and Michael Brown of Everett B. Walters that have recently taken Soulssun under their wings.
