I've been rapping since the age of 13. I started in a church choir performing tracks from artist such as "DC Talk", and "T-Bone". A few years later I was asked to join a church rap group called the "Chosen Ones". After various changes with the group members I went on my own and took on the name "Juan Solo" which means only God is gracious.
Why this name?
The first part of my name "Juan" is Spanish for the name "John". I came up with the name Juan Solo because just like John the baptist from the Bible, my message is to prepare this world for the second coming of Christ. I added "Solo" because I am a solo artist.
Do you play live?
I do rap live. Mainly in the central Pennsylvania area but I'm willing to go anywhere. I love using gospel rap as a tool to reach the lost and to encourage the church.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
I think the internet is the biggest promotion an unsigned rapper has. I think its a very useful resource.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Depends on the terms and agreements of the contract.
Your influences?
I would like to just give one musical influence, but there's so many that have really influenced me through out the years. Cross Movement, I.D.O.L King, Dynamic Twins, Sup the Chemist, LPG, Urban D, T-Bone, Corey Red, Precise, Dirt, Da T.R.U.T.H, Tunnel Rats, Peace 586, Remnant, R.O.T.L, J Johnson, & KJ 52. I'm sure there's more but I think that enough for now.
Favorite spot?
My favorite spot would have to be in my church praising Jesus & having fellowship with my brothers & sister in Christ. Besides that I would have to say my favorite city or should I say cities would have to be Manhattan, NY, & Philly, PA.
Equipment used:
MXL 2001 Condenser Mic, Pro Tools, Rokit Monitors.

Matthew 3:1-12
1.In those days John the Baptist began preaching in the Judean wilderness. His message was, 2."Turn from your sins and turn to God, because the Kingdom of Heaven is near." 3.Isaiah had spoken of John when he said, "He is a voice shouting in the wilderness: 'Prepare a pathway for the Lord's coming! Make a straight road for him!" 4.John's clothes were woven from camel hair, and he wore a leather belt; his food was locusts and wild honey. 5.People from Jerusalem and from every section of Judea and from all over the Jordan Valley went out to the wilderness to hear him preach. 6.And when they confessed their sins, he baptised them in the Jordan River. 7.But when he saw the many Pharisees and Saducees coming to be baptised, he denounced them. "You brood of snakes!" he exclaimed. "Who warned you to flee God's coming judgment? 8.Prove by the way you live that you have really turned from you sins and turned to God. 9.Don't just say, 'We're safe-we're the descendants of Abraham.' That proves nothing. God can change these stones here into children of Abraham. 10.Even now the axe of God's judgment is poised, ready to sever your roots. Yes, every tree that does not produce good fruit will be chopped down and thrown into the fire. 11."I baptize with water those who turn from their sins and turn to God. But someone is coming soon whos is far greater than I am-so much greater that I am not even worthy to be his slave. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire. 12.He is ready to separate the chaff from the grain with his winnowing fork. Then he will clean up the threshing area, storing the grain in his barn but burning the chaff with never-ending fire."
