Solomon grew up with music at the heart of the family's Gospel ministry, in his native Bridgeport, Connecticut. This early exposure to music led this eldest son of a preacher to begin playing the bass guitar at age 15 with his family’s gospel quartet, The Edmond Family. His passion for playing the keyboard ultimately led him to a career as a Minister of Music for over 25 years as well as a Music Director for stage plays. Solomon’s official musical career started with the release of his album Together Again (2007), a soulful compilation of jazz, rooted in gospel with a mild mix of Latin and R&B beats. Hard work has certainly paid off as Solomon has had a couple of number 1 hits in the UK, "If I Fall" and "It Ain’t in Me". Solex’s album “Full Moon" made it to the SmoothJazz.com Year End Top 100 Album Chart, landing at #55. His emotional experiences add a personal and soulful touch to all of his music. Inspired by music giants Earth, Wind & Fire, George Duke, and Brian Culbertson, this solo artist seeks to create music that masterfully incorporates harmonies, cleverly chosen instrumentation, and beautifully harnessed chord progressions to inspire his audience.
