Influences:IT IS VERY HARD TO SUM UP THIS YOUNG ARTISTS / BUSINESSMANS LIFE INTO A SHORT BIO WHEN ONE CAN ACTUALLY WRITE A NOVEL OR TWO FROM THE STORIES HE SHARES. BORN IN CALIFORNIA BUT ALMOST IMEDEATLY STARTED MOVING THROUGH HIS LIFE JOURNEY STATE TO STATE HAVING FIGHT FOR HIS RESPECT AND WELL BEING DO TO BEING A NEW COMER AND RACIAL ISSUSE. HIM AND HIS FAMILY FINNALLY SETTLED DOWN IN JACKSONVILLE, FL. IN 1993 WHEN HE WAS 13, SOLO ALMOST IMMEADEATLY STARTED GETTING HIMSELF INTO REAL TROUBLE IN THE CITY WITH THE 3RD HIGHEST MURDER RATE IN THE NATION, NOT ATTENDING SCHOOL, DRUGS, GUNS, FIGHT AFTER FIGHT GETTING SENT TO JUVINILE FACILITIES. WHEN HE WAS 15 HE WAS CHARGED FOR ARMED ROBBERY AND WAS SENTENCED AND SHIPPED 100S OF MILES AWAY TO POLK COUNTY, FL. WERE HE SERVED OVER A YEAR IN A HIGH RISK FACILITY.DURING THIS TIME IS WHEN YOUNG SOLO DISCOVERD HIS TALENT AND LOVE FOR WRITING MUSIC. WRITING RAP SONGS ABOUT THE SITUATIONS HE HAD TO FACE AS A WAY TO DEAL WITH HIS INNER EMOTINS... PERFORMING THESE SONG ALONG WITH OTHER INMATES TO THE ECHOS OF CLOSED FISTS BEATING AGAINST CELL DOORS TO MAKE A BEAT ALONG WITH LOUD CHANTING THAT WOULD SOON QUIET DOWN WHEN YOUNG SOLO’S TURN CAME BECAUSE THE REALNESS IN HIS WORD WOULD EFFECT THE OTHERS HEARTS. YOUNG SOLO WORKED HARD AT HIS TALENT WHILE INCARCERATED BUT SOON LOST SIDE OF IT AFTER HE WAS RELEASED LETTING THE YOUNG LADIES, MARJUANNA SMOKING, PARTIES, SELLING DRUGS, FIGHTS, AND ALL THE DRAMA DISTACT HIM FROM WRITING MUSIC.. YOUNG SOLO WAS GETTING KICKED OUT OF EVERY SCHOOL HE TRIED TO ATTEND HAVING TO ATTEND ALTERNITAVE SCHOOLS SUCH AS LACKAWANA, AND GRAND PARK AFTER INCITING RIOTS AT A RIVAL SCHOOL WHICH HE WAS ATTENDING AT THE TIME..
YOUNG SOLO WAS ARRESTED AGAIN HE BELIEVES ITS GODS WAY OF PUSHING HIM IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION SO HE BEGAN WRITING HIS MUSIC AGAIN TO DISCOVER HIS TALENT GREW ALONG WITH HIS LIFE EXPERIECES.WHEN SOLO WAS RELEASED HE KNEW HE HAD TO TAKE HIS TALENT TO THE TOP SO HE BEGAN RECORDING MUSIC IN LOCAL STUDIOS COLLABERATING WITH MANY LOCAL ARTISTS AND PERFORMING AT SMALL SHOWS AND PARTIES
SOLO WAS NOT SATISFIED WITH THE CONTENT OF THE MATERIAL EVEN THOUGH ALL THE FEED BACK WAS POSITIVE HIS HEART BEAT TO A DIFFERENT DRUM
18 YEAR OLD SOLO WAS LIVING ON HIS OWN, AND HE BEGAN PURCHASING HIS OWN RECORDING EQUIPMENT WITH DRUG MONEY IT WAS A SMALL SET UP CONSISTING OF FRUITY LOOPS A SMALL YAMAHA KEYBOARD, HANDHELD MICROPHONES A CHEEP COMPUTER AND CAKEWALK SOFTWARE FOR RECORING THE BEATS WERE NOT THE GREATEST AND THE SOUND QUALITY WAS VERY UNPROSSIONAL BUT SOLO WAS MORE SATISFIED WITH THE CONTENT OF THE MATERIAL RECORDING MUSIC ABOUT HIS EVERYDAY LIFE THE DRAMA, THE LUV , THE HATE, THE BEEF ECT..
SOLO BEGAN TO DISCOVER THAT SOME OF HIS CLOSE FRIENDS FROM THE PASSED WERE VERY TALENTED AS WELL AND SHARED MANY OF THE SAME VIEWS. SOLO BEGAN COLABERATING WITH THEM.
POLICE WERE CALLED TO SOLOS APARTMENT ALMOST ON A DAILY BASIS FOR NOISE VIOLATIONS, HI TRAFFIC, STRONG SMELLS OF MARJAUANA, VIOLENCE ECT.. GETTING HIS EVICTED FROM PLACE TO PLACE SOLO WOULD NOT LET THAT STOP HIM, UPGRAING HIS EQUIPMENT AND BUSINESS SENCE UNTIL HIS SON WAS BORN IN 2004SOLO REALIZED HE COULD NOT CONTINUE HIS WRECKLESS LIFESTYLE HE NEEDED TO GET ORGANISED SO ALONG WITH HIS SONS BIRTH BIRTHED TRUTH BE TOLD RECORDS MOVING THE STUDIO TO A PRIME LOCATION ON ATLANIC BEACH, FL.
