Biography
Emjay Soul Rider Hastwell, creatively known as emjaysoul, grew up on hip-hop and R&B’s prime music era of the 90s, solidifying his interests and tastes from a young age. Young and unassuming, emjaysoul’s production speaks a language older than himself. The 20-year-old’s sonic discography is a curation of early 90s hip-hop chops, boom-bap era sampling, and often dips into dance and electronic-house territory to keep you on the edge of your seat. To say he’s a jack of all trades is reasonable, but his studious approach to the craft is what makes emjaysoul one-of-one. Though the sounds of internationally-renowned artists have impacted emjay’s own attitude to music, it’s his fellow creative peers AR the Eternal, Cherry Rype, Guano C, Zion Garcia and Sollyy that have helped him learn more about music beyond his own understanding.
