He has spent many years creating and developing his own sound, which he calls RIFF. Endlessly creative, MIKEJAB is also known among the music community as the originator of the dance genre, &#8220;AfroDance&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8216;I Wanna LUV\u00a0Your Soul&#8217; is upbeat and effusive, with an insistent beat which keeps the listener involved, while his sweet vocals and harmonious rhythms entwine themselves around the simple keyboard\u00a0instrumentation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">MIKEJAB cites his inspirations as including Michael Jackson, Charlie Wilson, and David Guetta, and &#8216;I Wanna Luv Your Soul&#8217; is available now on Spotify.
