In the ever-evolving world of music, it’s rare to come across an artist who truly stands out from the crowd. Born Soul, a native of Austin, Texas, is one such artist who has created his own unique genre, aptly named “Coffee House Music.” With a sound that blends the best of hip hop and ambient vibes, Born Soul is poised to take the music industry by storm with his upcoming release, “Adagio Fountain.”
Born Soul’s journey began during his college years when he and his classmate, Henry Jones III, formed a DJ tandem for local college parties. It was during this time that the duo realized their true calling: creating music for people to enjoy. This moment sparked the birth of Born Soul Productions, a venture that would see the artist through his early struggles and eventual success.
After graduating from college, Born Soul faced the challenge of finding a suitable recording studio that could capture his unique sound. Undeterred, he purchased his first beat machine and began creating basic drum tracks using samples, recording vocals with a tape recorder. A chance encounter with Harold Green, who would become the executive producer, led to the funding of Born Soul’s first album and the purchase of professional recording equipment.
Despite several years of struggling to get his music heard, Born Soul persevered. The untimely passing of Harold Green in 2021 marked a turning point for the artist and his partner, Henry Jones III. They formed the record label Musik Innovator Hip Hoffee House, LLC, and through hard work and research, they have set Born Soul’s music career on the right path.

One of the key moments that propelled Born Soul’s success was perfecting his sound and bringing the music quality up to industry standards through mixing and mastering. Another crucial factor was finding the right niche audience through social media and music streaming playlists. Born Soul’s innovative style, influenced by the likes of OutKast and A Tribe Called Quest, has garnered attention from playlist curators, a testament to the appeal of his music.
The upcoming release of “Adagio Fountain” on March 22nd marks an exciting new chapter in Born Soul’s career. The music video, which will be available on YouTube and Vevo, promises to be a visual feast that complements the song’s unique vibe and ambience. Born Soul believes that the song will particularly resonate with gamers, travelers, runners, and fast food enthusiasts.
When asked about his creative process, Born Soul shared an interesting memory from his early performing days, revealing that he once did 50 performances in just three months. This dedication and passion for his craft are evident in his upcoming album, “TUT,” set to release this fall.
