GRAMMY® Award-nominated recording artist Musiq Soulchild returns to City National Grove of Anaheim, Saturday, November 16. Tickets are available via Ticketmaster, Friday, August 2, at 10AM. 

With a string of awards from Billboard, BET, ASCAP, BMI, and Soul Train, and an impressive 13 Grammy® nominations under his belt, the multi-platinum Musiq Soulchild has always strived for musical progression.

Born Taalib Johnson, Musiq Soulchild is one of the most influential R&B singers of his generation. Weaned on Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, and Donny Hathaway, he pioneered the “neo-soul” movement of the early millennium. He remains one of the most popular performers of his time and a true artist. Known for his raw vocal talent, Musiq went from signing on the street corners of Philadelphia in the last 90s to landing a big record deal with Def Jam in 2000, ushing in a new age sound of his own.

Musiq made a stellar Atlantic debut with LUVANMUSIQ, earning a trio of Grammy nominations as well as sales in excess of 700,000. The album – which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 – featured a streak of major hit singles, including “b.u.d.d.y,” “Makeyouhappy,” and the No. 1 smash, “Teachme,” which spent 15 weeks atop Billboard’s Urban AC airplay chart. ONMYRADIO followed in 2008, reaching the No. 1 spot on Billboard’s “Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums” chart in its second week out. The album received considerable critical praise, with special attention paid to the smash singles, “sobeautiful” and “IfULeave (Feat. Mary J. Blige).”
