London-based artist K Soul is back with a remix of her track “Endless” featuring the talented producer Go$ha. Following this new release, we caught up with the singer to learn more about her artistry, influences and aspirations.

– Can you tell us a bit about your musical background and how you got started in music?

I started singing in primary school doing school plays from primary to collage both inside and outside of education. I always loved musical theatre so I went on to studying it at university where I found my artist whist performing at uni talent shows. It was my last uni in university when my friends and I came up with the name K Soul and they encouraged me to release my first song and music video “Love Pain” which GrimeDaily Posted on their YouTube channel. Since my first release I have been recording, releasing and performing in London, Ghana and soon with more work and connections globally.

– Have you faced any challenges or obstacles as a female musician, and if so, how have you overcome them?

Well we all know the industry can be male dominated, I just feel the normal challenges come with ensuring men put respect on your name and artistry.

– What’s the story behind your latest track “Endless”?

The concept behind the video for the song was really using the London transport scene (specifically a train station) to symbolise “endlessness” London is a busy city and there are constantly people rushing to get somewhere and trains always going by. I wanted to be dancing in 1 position as people rushed around me as I sing about endless love that isn’t rushing to get anywhere because it is always where it needs to be.
Alternately, we wanted the audience to gage freedom and endless loving energy in the mist of rushy chaos, even down to the clothes I am wearing, my green top says “don’t come back” and my second fit is on the dark urban goth side. The visual aesthetic is an oxymoron in correlation to the song, I want people to see what my lyrics say “light in the night”; there is still beauty in all that is whether it is dark or light.

– Any memorable moment or achievement you’d like to share with us?

I had a photoshoot with Gucci a few years back that was featured in vogue magazine website; one of my most proud moments.

– How do you hope your music will resonate with your audience, especially with other aspiring female musicians?

That’s if you just keep on keeping on something might just give; consistency within doing what you love doesn’t just give you eventual flowers, it heals your soul.
