Four of the band members have Ghanaian origins, but they were born in Verona and Brescia, Italy. They met in local Ghanaian and evangelical communities and eventually decided to form a band. The opportunity came when they met at the recording studio of Joel Ainoo, one of the members. In the summer of 2016 they had a number of live performances. After that, the band participated to the selection of The X Factor : first refused, the judge Álvaro Soler brought them back after the band Jarvis had left the show. [3] Soul System reached the final and finally won the competition. They presented the song "She's Like a Star". [2]
