In 2024 he released his fourth album, In This Time in collaboration with France\u2019s Irie Ites crew. He has also released two EPs, Music Addict with Jahtari in 2011 and My Music with Dubkasm in 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With countless more hit singles, Solo has worked with the likes of Mungo\u2019s Hi Fi, Maffi, Conscious Sounds, Necessary Mayhem, Roots Factory and many others, creating a series of musical anthems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Solo is sought after on the touring circuit, renowned for high-energy, exciting performances delivering a musical message. He has performed all over the world from Asia to Africa, Europe to the Americas.<\/p>\n\n\n
