Mr. Soul has been living and breathing music since he was eight years old.
He used to play drums with small jazz combos and doubled as a drummer and a singer with various rock and cabaret acts in England for many years.
During his stay in Iceland, he began focusing on his writing skills, writing both songs and lyrics.
While on a teaching assignment in Reykjavik, he also became interested in writing about Iceland and its people, this resulted in a series of historical novels based on fact and fiction. The first is a novel called Eyrarkot.
Since 1997 John Soul has been living in his hometown City of Oxford, U.K., where he works as a "lecturer" in visual arts (he is an art teacher by profession).
Every now and then John also plays drums with Oxford jazz band called the John Rickson Quartet. His personal website is www.johnsoul.com
