It’s been said that Solomon King’s finely honed musicianship and dynamic showmanship channels timeless artists like Lou Reed, Leonard Cohen, Johnny Cash, Nick Cave and Bob Dylan; that his music embraces everything from Rock, R&B, the Blues, and Americana to Classical music; that his songs feature rich lyrical monologues, delivered in a heartfelt storytelling fashion; and that his unique voice will pass this way but once. 

To date, Grammy-nominated Solomon King has blazed that PATH from his humble beginnings in Detroit’s rock and Motown scene, then with a guitar on his back he found “Hollywood Underground” and classic blues deep in Los Angeles. All before striking out for Hawaii, Australia and Israel on tour. To emphasize, “He didn’t choose this PATH; he was chosen by it." 

And, this PATH has led him to his newest recording, his fifth production since Solomon King’s Under the Sun in 2008 earned him that Grammy recognition. Two songs from that album, “Jack Me Up” and “Frankie and Johnnie,” were featured in the first season of HBO’s True Blood. Along the way, Solomon King has also expertly portrayed infamous music legend Phil Spector in the Phil Spector Incident movie.
