History

Färger and Neumann first worked together producing remixes for the Frankfurt record label 3p (Pelham Power Productions), working with the German pop/soul band Glashaus and female rapper Sabrina Setlur. The two first appeared together as a rap duo as Dreckskind & Pechvogel (lit. Child of Squalor and Unlucky Devil), releasing an EP named LebensArt von Dreckskind & Pechvogel (The LifeStyle of Child of Squalor and Unlucky Devil).

The duo's talent was spotted by a radio station based in Hessen, Germany, and one of their songs became a regular part of the radio station's 2004 summer tour of public swimming baths in Hessen. During this time, German commercial television station RTL's attention was drawn to the pair.

It was at this time that Jan and Steve, together with soul singer C.J. Taylor, decided to rename the band Rapsoul; a name which described the band's musical style. Following several successful live gigs, the band was invited to perform as the supporting act for the Backstreet Boys' October 2005 tour of Germany, Austria and Switzerland.

At the end of 2005, the band recorded their debut album, Unbeschrieblich (Indescribable), which was released in Germany on March 31, 2006. Their debut single, Verzweifelt (Desperate), released on November 25, 2005, peaked at number 21 in the German singles charts. Following the success of their debut single, the band released their second single, Gott schenk ihr Flügel (God Give Her Wings), on March 17, 2006. Their third single, Du und ich (You and Me), was released on June 23, 2006. All three of these singles made it into the German singles charts. 2006 also saw the band headline a tour for the first time.

The band recorded their fourth single, Sonnenschein (Sunshine) with Vanessa Jean Dedmon, a semi-finalist from the third series of Deutschland sucht den Superstar (the German version of Pop Idol). The song reached number 17 in the German charts.

Rapsoul's second album Achterbahn (Rollercoaster) was released in 2007, from which the singles Erste Liebe (First Love), Laura, König der Welt (King of the World) and Sterben für dich (Die For You) were taken.
