orn and raised in the Bronx, this Latin beauty was blessed to have supportive parents who exposed her music,
especially since birth. She remembers her parents late night parties with her father Julio playing the Conga's and
her mother Santa dancing to the rhythm. Julio who's first break in the 70's was to record an album as a
percussionist who lived for Salsa Music. He knew by listening to an album who was who from the vocalist to the
Bongo player. Her parents had a tremendous influence on Sol's music career. Her first entry into the entertainment
was at the age of 9 when a recruiter held auditions at her neighborhood which she attended and became a finalist
for.
This would be her very first big break; she was asked to perform for a charity event in Central Park as an open act
for Brenda K. Starr, Coro, Cynthia and Fat Boys which were all very popular in the 1980's. This would be the match
that lit the fire for Sol. Sol's passion only became intense when she attended Junior High School for the performing
arts Rafael Hernandez and found that although R&B and Freestyle were to her liking, that something was missing.
One day while at a NYC nightclub she witness the performance of Frankie Ruiz and Los Hermanos Colon she felt
like she found herself. “This is what I was missing!”
She claims she knew right then and there that her passion for music was in Salsa Music! The rhythm, the dance,
the sound, the live music. A few years later Los Hermanos Colon asked if she would record a song on their album
"Abriendo Nuevos Caminos" as she recorded "Cuando Una Mujer" a song she fell in love with. With a new album in
2011 with Muziq Inc. Records www.muziqincrecords.com and with strong support of her family and friends, Sol
hopes to present her own positive outlook on life and to help bring a unity amongst Latinos through her music.
