T.K. Soul

Autobiography By TK Soul Born Terence Kimble August 26th 1964 In The Southern Town Of Winnfield La. I Began My Love For Music And Musical Instruments At The Early Age Of 7. Being A Product Of The 70s And 80s Gave Me A Range Of Influences Such As The Jackson 5 Rick James Prince. Stevie Wonder Al Green The Bar-Kays Con Funk Shun Maze AWB And Many Many More. Pretty Much Everything On T.V. Or Radio At That Time Played A Part In My Musical Development. At Age 10 I Got A Guitar And Soon Realized That I Could Play Any Tune I Heard Note For Note. Amazed By My God Given Talent I Began To Try Other Instruments And Soon I Was Playing Drums Piano Bass And Lead Guitar. By Age 14 I Was Reading Music And Playing Drums In The School Band. I Was So Advanced That I Was Asked To Play In The High School Band While I Was In Jr. High. At Age 15 Thru 21 I Went From School Choir To Church Choir To Playing With Local Bands That I Often Formed Myself. My Songwriting Began After My First Love Broke My Heart. My Brother And I Started To D.J. In And Around Our Local Area And I Would Sing At The Parties To R&B Cover Song Tracks That I Made Myself. This Was My First Time Singing Solo. Soon I Began To Make Demos And For The Next 8 Years I Tried To Get A Major Record Deal Traveling And Living In Baltimore LA And Atlanta . Not Having The Proper Knowledge Of How That Was Done I Never Got That Deal. Not Having The Proper Education Or The Desire To Get It I Turned To The One Thing I Knew How To Do Play Music. So I Began To Seek Out Jobs To Play For Recording Artist. I Was Playing For The A Local Group Under 21 Now Known As Profyle On Motown Records When The Producer For Platinum Recording Artist H-TOWN Saw And Heard Me Play The Talk-Box And Keyboards He Hired Me On The Spot To Play For H-TOWN That's When It All Began To Pay Off. Although Playing All Over The World With H-TOWN Was One Of The High Lights Of My Life It Only Prepared Me For What Was Ahead. Soon After That Saga Ended I Started Looking For Someone To Record And Sing My So Called Blues Songs. I Didn't Want To Be A Singer So I Sought And Found Someone To Sing My Songs. That Someone Was One Of The Best Vocalist Of My Time Willie Clayton. I Got A Job Playing Keyboards For W.C. With The Intent For Him To Sing My Songs It Worked Out And I Had A Great Experience. I Wrote The Hits Wiggle And Party Like We Use To. 3 Years Later I Formed My Own Record Label SOULFUL RECORDS And T.K. SOUL Was Born. read less
