The Importance of Collaboration

During this voice bite, Solo the Artist talks about being a team player. He points out that not everyone has the same strengths. This is a good thing. Find and align with those who complement your strengths. Solo the Artist is a LA based multidisciplinary artist that was born and raised in Kansas City, MO. Playing basketball in college and then overseas in Denmark gave him essential tools that has been the foundation of his journey. After a career ending injury he then took his passion for storytelling to the screen to become an actor in television and film working on projects such as Alieu the Dreamer, Top Gun Maverick, Young and the Restless, Hawaii Five-O and Bosch. Acting prepared him with many vehicles of expression, especially the ability to be completely vulnerable which allowed him to find his true passion of becoming a contemporary artist. Solo creates abstract figurative work through a multilayer language of wisdom that he calls “F.E.E.L.” A process in which Solo describes as, “Creating art through being a vessel of (F)aith to possess the (E)nergy of (E)mpowerment through (L)ove. We all have a story and I want that to be reflected in every piece represented.” Solo tells short stories in different mediums that are divinely delivered in that moment and energetically translated creatively by giving it a voice.
