Profile

* Name: SoulJa
* Birthday: 1983.11.01

From when he was little, SoulJa has been influenced by his Belgian musician mother. He learned violin, cello and piano. Due to family circumstances, he switched between living in Belgium, Japan and the USA. While living in the USA he used to freestyle rap at clubs in Denver, New York, New Jersey and San Francisco.

In 2005 he got his first break in the music scene, where his song First Contact was used as the Men's Beauteen CM song starring Odagiri Joe, and in November released it as a single with a limited press of 1,200 copies. The single sold out, and several months later the single was repressed with a new version and new tracks.

He debuted in 2007 with the single DOGG POUND, but it was not until his collaboration single with then unknown as well R&B singer Aoyama Thelma which brought him success. They released a collaboration single, Koko ni Iru yo, which became a long-charting hit and eventually sold over 100,000 copies. The answer-song to this single, released as Aoyama's second single, reached #1 on Oricon charts and even outsold the original.
