Soul singer Bilal was born and raised in Philadelphia and is now one of the most dynamic artists of our time. His music is a mix of R&B, jazz, soul, blues, gospel and hip-hop. Bilal was a member of The Soulquarians in the late 1990s, the influential collective that D’Angelo, Questlove, Q-Tip and Common, among others, were also members of.
