Bashiri Asad - The Everyday soul singer
IndySoul
He laughs. He cries. He loves. He dreams. Just like you, everyday. He feels deeply, and turns his feelings into music. Soul music. Music that says exactly how you feel, and Bashiri has come to define his sound as "IndySoul."
From shoo-wop style singing groups and classical vocal training, to performances local and abroad, his vocal prowess has been growing into the soul-stirring entity it is known as today.
The influences of Donny Hathaway, Stevie Wonder, Sam Cooke & Luther Vandross echo in his performance, and those coupled with his own strength and passion have come together to create his version of true soul music.
Humble in his approach, relentless in his delivery, you have to experience it to truly understand.
