Former CSUN student Jacques Guidry, professionally known as Souleaux, released his debut album “M.Y.C.” on New Years Day. His lyrics reflect on existence, growth, the experience of being a young adult and spirituality, over ambient guitar strings and alternative beats. Including songs “Lost & Found” and “The Void”, this album sets the bar for the year ahead in concerns to Souleaux’s future work.
