Biography
SolÅce is a Chicago-based singer, songwriter, producer, rapper, actor, and dancer whose talents are sure to propel him to international acclaim and eventual stardom! Beloved by fans and critics alike, the release of his latest five songs have not only found him in the second position of the coveted Emerging 300 Chart but have ranked him within the top 10% of Pop, R&B/ Soul, and Reggae artists worldwide, according to Chartmetric!
"My love of music began at the age of 6 when I started to take formal piano lessons." Starting with classical music but growing to love all genres, SolÅce later found comfort in the song-writing process while away at Morehouse College. After graduating with 186 recorded songs under his belt, talent show success with his original material, and an appearance as a Super Bowl half-time show dancer, SolÅce knew the time was ripe to pursue a career in music! Since then, he has gone on to create two independent albums - "SolAce" and "RedempXn" - was dubbed R&B Performer of the Session at the New York International Music Festival, received semi-finalist distinction at the US Songwriting Competition, has toured regionally as a keyboardist with two reggae bands, has seen his songs appear in three independent movie sound tracks, and had the honor of having his piano abilities praised by the musical legend Ray Charles. "I look forward to you joining me on this stage of my musical journey!"
SolÅce has been working diligently on an eight-song EP that he hopes to release in the Winter of 2022 through Zarephath Entertainment with Universal Music/ INgrooves International Distribution. He has collaborated with multiple artists on the project, working with producers from Chicago, Dallas, Canada, the Philippines, and Israel. The EP will also feature an awesome collaborative scope with featured artists from Chicago, Portland, London, England, Paris, France, and Montreal, Canada. Only half-complete, the released songs have already garnered SolÅce almost 200,000 streams on Spotify alone!
The lead single, "Better Man 4U" features local Chicago rapper M.A.N. Williamz and executive music production of K.F. Jacques. The music video, filmed at Chicago's historic Navy Pier, features SolÅce's energetic dance choreography debut and has already garnered over 100,000 Spotify Streams and over 23,000 video views collectively. The song was well received critically, being positively reviewed in the music blogs "Life Tales" and "Breaking & Entering"! It was also remixed to a Club House groove by Tokyo, Japan-based producer DJ S.Peak.
The follow-up single "Rearranging" is a moving male/ female duet ballad sung in the style of "Stuck With You" by Ariana Grande/ Justin Bieber or "One Sweet Day" by Mariah Carey/ Boyz II Men. It has already met with great excitement, fan support, hitting periods with almost 46 streams per listener, and critical acclaim; being positively reviewed in the "Buzzwonder" and "Enter the Venture" music blogs.
SolÅce's third single "GlowdUp" is a club banger that is following in the footsteps of its predecessors, as it was a hit-in-the-making straight out the blocks! With an energetic rap feature by female Portland artist Rekka and executive production by K.F.Jacques, this pre-club anthem tells the story of SolÅce as he ignores the haters and confidently prepares for a night of uninhibited clubbing! It too was positively reviewed in the "Enter the Venture" the music blog and had a wonderful viral TikTok dance created by the influencer Hooferism!
The fourth single since SolÅce's return is "Op3rator." "SolÅce reveals his playfully sexy side in an R&B track destined to be a hit...The song has a slow club groove with enough bounce to be an addictive rhythmic masterpiece." From its onset, "Op3rator" was greeted with amazing critical acclaim. It was immediately added at #75 on the "Emerging300 Chart," for independent artists, and peaked at #2 after less than a week. It has been written up and positively reviewed in multiple publications such as the Upcoming100 Chart website, where it received 4.5/5 stars, the HiP Hop NOW online magazine, the DJ Wap Wap music blog, the Miami 99 Jamz Radio show website, and Loud Magazine, to name just a few!
The latest single to be released is a dancehall classic-in-the-making entitled "HolØgram." It features the London-based, Jamaican rapper named Raggozulurebel who is an international sensation in his own right! This powerful collaboration has not gone unnoticed by the media as the song has been positively reviewed in numerous music blogs and magazines, written up on news sites such as CBS and FOX, and has been featured on numerous radio station websites! Ironically, this SolÅce production about insecurity has led to nothing of the sort and has ranked SolÅce #2 on the Emerging 300 Chart for independent artists and placed him into the 11,577th world ranking for Reggae musicians (top 10% of ALL such artists worldwide!).
All of this acclaim would not be possible without the love and support of SolÅce's over 15,000 followers and subscribers on Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Spotify, and TikTok who he thanks and send his 💜 daily!(see links in the footer, below)!
