“I left Souls because of two different tastes in sounds. They liked one kind of music, I liked another. I was into loud, rocking, powerful sounds, and the rest of the members wanted quiet, melodious sounds. You cannot just compromise day after day. We never really had any big arguments, but it occurred to me that it would be better if I just quit and do something different.”

Ayub Bachchu (1962–2018) Musician, singer, songwriter

Skye Sweetnam (1988) Canadian singer-songwriter
