My voice! No one sings like me, no one looks like me — I’m unique, and I celebrate that through my art. Michael Soul — it’s an experience.

Who or what is your musical inspiration?
My musical inspiration comes from artists who fearlessly blur genre lines and use their voices as instruments of deep emotion and storytelling. Labrinth, Yebba, and James Blake have been major influences on my creative journey.I also draw inspiration from my own lived experience. I’ve always had a very unconventional appearance, which made me a target for bullying and misunderstanding growing up. These experiences were traumatic, but they shaped my voice—both literally and artistical
How would performing at the Global Citizen Festival impact your career?
Performing at Global Citizen Festival would make me the first artist from Belarus to take this stage. Coming from a country where freedom of expression is limited, this moment would symbolize hope and representation. It would amplify my voice and mission—to create meaningful music that speaks for those who feel unseen and unheard.
What would you do with $50,000?
I would create an album that could inspire a generation to be unapologetically themselves. It would launch my music career in the U.S. and become a symbol for independent artists from small countries—proving they, too, can be heard on the world stage.
