SoulJa (ソルジャ, Soruja, birth name: Johannes Marías Reijnders Zwan) (born 1 November 1983) is a Japanese hip-hop musician and songwriter. He is best known for his collaborations with singer Thelma Aoyama, "Koko ni Iru yo" and "Soba ni Iru ne" – the latter of which was the former Guinness World Records holder for the best selling digital single of all-time in Japan (until it was superseded by Greeeen's "Kiseki"). SoulJa's father is Japanese and his mother is Belgian. He studied music, learning how to play the violin, cello and piano from a young age, due to the influence of his mother. During his childhood, he spent time in Belgium, Japan and the United States. At 15, he grew to love hip-hop music. === Albums === {| class="wikitable" style="width: 40%;" ! rowspan="1"| Year ! rowspan="1"| Album Information ! colspan="1"| Oricon<br />Albums<br />Charts ! colspan="1"| Reported<br />Sales<br /> |- | align="center"|2007 |''[[Spirits (SoulJa album)|Spirits]]'' <small> * Released: 7 November 2007 * Label: Universal Music Japan (UPCH-20050) * Re-released on 18 June 2008 as ''Spirits X'tended'' * Formats: CD, digital download </small> |align="center"|9 |align="center"|66,000 |- | align="center"|2009 |''[[Colorz (album)|Colorz]]'' <small> * Released: 25 February 2009 * Label: Universal Music Japan (UMCK-1295) * Formats: CD, digital download </small> |align="center"|106 |align="center"|2,000 |- | align="center"|2010 |''[[Letters (SoulJa album)|Letters]]'' <small> * Released: 16 June 2010 * Label: Universal Music Japan (UMCK-9348) * Formats: CD, digital download </small> |align="center"|36 |align="center"|2,300<!--2,271--> |} [[Category: Hāfu]] [[Category:🇯🇵🇧🇪]] [[Category:Musicians & Singers]] [[Category:1983 Births]] [[Category:November 1 Births]]
