But success did not come overnight for the Danish duo. Soulshock began his career as a hip-hop club DJ, spinning records in his bedroom. His big break came in 1989 when he took third place in the prestigious DMC World Mixing Championships in London. The contest victory led to a DJ position on the European Tour for Queen Latifah, Jungle Brothers and Chill Rob G. That gig, in turn, gave Soulshock the opportunity to remix songs for Mc Lyte, Queen Latifah among others. With his remixes playing on KISS-FM, Soulshock came out to New York to study under DJ Red Alert.
Karlin was an integral part of Denmark's jazz scene before joining with Soulshock producing Patti Labelle’s “All Right Now.” A musician in the traditional sense of the word, Karlin says, “I think our different backgrounds is what make our tracks interesting The duo made the move to Los Angeles and, after months of struggling, finally scored their first big hit with Monica’s 1 R&B single “Before You Walk Out of My Life”, which they wrote and produced.
In 1999, Soulshock & Karlin enjoyed another 1 single with Whitney Houston’s “Heartbreak Hotel” which received two Grammy nominations: Best R&B Song, and Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Vocalist.
Soulshock & Karlin recently produced and wrote their first 1 top 40 hit “Leave (Get Out)” performed by JoJo ,the 1 R&B song “Truth Is” performed by American Idol winner Fantasia (also received a Grammy nomination for best R&B album) and tracks for rap star Nelly .
In addition, SoulPower have developed SoulPower/Universal artist Ashley Parker Angel who got an MTV reality show, There and Back. Ashley Parker Angel released his debut album, Soundtrack To Your Life.
