About Me:

When three artists originally hailing from Africa, Tchaï (Burundi), Dad’D (D.R.Congo) and V (Rwanda), united with Producer Urban Deep (Austria/Belgium) to form Soul:ID, this refreshingly unique collective created what they define as "Afropean Soul" music.

Even before the commercial release of their debut album “Sex, Love & Philosophy”, Soul:ID managed to get global airplay on more than 450 radio stations, stirred up a buzz on 4 different continents and had renowned HipHop label ABB Records (Dilated Peoples/Little Brother) picking up their album as their only European act ever for the US market.
 
American and European press compared their debut to be in the same league as Jill Scott, Lucy Pearl and Loose Ends while African media sees in them a symbol of a peaceful and refulgent Africa of this new millennium.
 
Wyclef Jean, Craig David, Youssou N’Dour, Robert Palmer and Zap Mama are already on the list of artists they have collaborated with.
 
After whirlwind tours in America, Europe and Africa, it is clear that Soul:ID, the surprising union of three lead-vocalists/producers and a drummer/producer, has a lot in store for us - promising to continue seducing the world with their recipes of soulful vocals, gut-wrenching bass-lines and serving as a positive example of a beautiful and stylish multicultural society.
