The Soloman story is little short of incredible - a pure demonstration of how true talent quite literally pin-points its blinding spotlight on chosen gifted individuals and catapults them into its unplanned limelight.
Soloman was brought-up in the throbbing heart of Brixton, South London. His father was, Drummie Zeb, a founding member of Aswad, the UK's most successful reggae band ever, so inevitably Soloman was raised on a hearty diet of reggae music from birth, with everything ranging from Bob Marley and Yellow Man, right through to Musical Youth nurturing his young and influential mind. One of Soloman's earliest memories is dancing on stage at the age of just 5-years-old with Aswad and Shalamar, so it's no surprise that he went on to study dance at London's, Brit School. Soloman became part of a dance group and often beat-boxed or played drums during performances -but never once sang.
Until one day, during a phone conversation with his dad from the recording studio, Soloman overheard a track in the background, which caught his attention. The track was on the line up for the forthcoming Aswad album and needed a rap, a job for which Soloman volunteered his talents - even though he had never rapped a line in his life! As Soloman stood by the mic, with a crumpled page of scribbled lyrics in his hand, neither he nor the band knew what was going to come out of his mouth. Then a huge wave of confidence swept over him and he just went for it - the result was amazing and the rap secured its place on one of Aswad's biggest UK hits to date, 'Shine'. Video shoots, Top of the Pops performances and global gigs to 15,000 strong audiences followed. At the age of just 15-years-old, the talent of an unsuspecting Soloman had quite literally exploded across the world. Since then Soloman has performed live with Leftfield and recently supported UB40's Ali Campbell on tour.
