Bio

Addam Solo smiles at the often asked question of what genre of music he creates." At the beginning, when everything was just a dream, I really did not have a concept of what my music could be classified as." Addam then hesitates a moment, smiles as if enjoying a private joke and continues " Somewhere during the hundreds of rough songs I did, I sort of just combined pop and soul, and started to call it PopSoul. I sort of fought with the idea of being R&B, but there are so many other great R&B artists.I did not want my music to sound like anyone else out there, and I dug into the deepest parts of my soul to find the music that was true to me."

Such a statement tends to spark interest to hear this "unique" music he claims to create, however his debut album gives a wonderful taste of just that. A fresh-faced new comer from Baltimore, Maryland his new album titled "Memoirs" has fans yearning for more. "I poured more than just heart and soul into this album, I forged it from the very burning flames of emotion."

Indeed, an ambitious Solo is determined to have the world hear his music. The emotional and powerful first single "Blood Lies," delves into a dark portion of Solo's most cloudy past. He objects to the pre-conceived notion that blood equals loyalty and trustworthiness. " If blood is thicker than water, why does it run?" Indeed, the hypnotic hook uses a simple cliche,comparing blood to water,and conveys that the difference is little to none. " I have no concept of love or family, its a foreign concept to me."

In actuality, the entire debut album "Memoirs," is an extended story of pain and suffering. There are some uplifting songs as well, but the majority of the full album seems to be an incarnation of pain ripped directly from the young Solo. The second song on his debut album "Just Heartless" seems almost a continuation to Blood Lies, as he seems to be conveying that he can feel no feelings of love or passion for anything. Solo ends his album with the emotional and heartwrenching song titled "Miss You." In this particular song, three separate stories are told about experiencing death, loss and regret. Putting the emotion of this particular song into words, would do it little justice.

Songwriting and music production came naturally to Addam Solo, who produced and wrote his promotional album, and has done the complete production and songwriting for the debut album. "The words to my songs come from a lifetime of pain, and I believe my fans can hear my distress."

Addam Solo lives up to his name. Raised within a household where he felt alone all his life, the torturous environment he grew up in, prevented him from making many friends or indulging in a socially healthy lifestyle. He dubbed himself "Solo" relating to the many years he has never had anyone to call a true friend. Indeed, it is this solitude that fueled his ambition. He explains " When you have been ignored all your life,humiliated, and overlooked, the drive to accomplish something great is almost overwhelming. I don't plan on making music that can only be appreciated for a year, I want to make history.."

The talented vocalist has found his destiny. He joined forces to create the record label "Sololegendary Productions," and plans to stake his claim within the music industry by any means necessary. He found himself increasingly involved in musical events, festivals, and performances. He has created a brand for himself, and plans to market his music internationally. To say that he takes this journey seriously is an understatement.
Will Addam Solo become a legend as his brand name implies? Only time will tell.

-The "Memoirs" album is slated for a Feb 21 2010 release.
