Soultru, the self-proclaimed hip-hop/soul crooner, is a rising star from the Midwest, based out of Quad Cities, IA for 30 years. Combining his poetic and lyrical talents with a soulful voice, he has created a unique blend of genres that has caught the attention of music lovers across the country. Soultru grew up around gospel music, listening to Fred Hammond, and Smokie Norful, which he credits as his early influences. However, as he got older, his love for new genres was crippled due to a sheltered childhood. But as time passed, he found inspiration in artists like Gavin Degraw, Brian McKnight, Anthony Hamilton, and Kanye West, who eventually led him to discover John Legend. Soultru is among the young, talented, and driven artists that are the backbone of the Quad Cities indie music scene, which has become a hidden gem in the Midwest for indie music of all genres. Soultru has had the pleasure of opening for renowned artists such as Ceschi Ramos, Kweku Collins, Rittz, Magic City Hippies, and Michigan Rattlers. His latest single, “Backiotomy” (featuring Jim Swim), is a catchy, genre-bending mix of hip-hop, soul, and folk. It is the first new single from his upcoming EP, The Legend Of Guitar Boy. The song is all about the different nicknames that Banks had as a kid and how we should not carry other people’s perspectives of us on our backs. When Banks sings, “They might grow and change, but I’ve always stayed true, My soul is all I’ve got,” you can feel the authenticity of his lyrics. Soultru’s unique blend of genres in “Backiotomy” makes it a perfect track for any music lover. You can listen to it while going on a drive, studying, or even while relaxing with your loved ones. It’s a song that is sure to brighten up your day and make you feel good. Soultru’s passion for music is evident in his latest single, “Backiotomy”. It is a perfect representation of his unique blend of genres that sets him apart from the rest.
