Solatino is my name, a French author, compositor and interpret, making music since 3 years and have experienced music groups before during 6 years.
I've made Jazz before all: singing improvisations, took place in a classical music choral during two years and gone though a rap music group during 4 years. I sang in a fusion group as a beat boxer and Spanish rapper in Mexico during one year and decided to do something alone with my own artistic direction.
Here are 4 of my 35 original songs, are all in French (excuse me, this is my natural language), but I swear, English songs will come around to be understood by everyone.
Peace...

Why this name?
Latino is a name I've simply found in Mexico and explains how living in the south of France makes me belong to a strong Latin culture, a very rich one. This is just here, around me and I just have to learn it, experience it or eat it... Such as Latin culture is inspired by everything abroad, overseas, I feel obliged to discover what happens outside. I feel solatino 'cause I feed my music by a worldwide culture. And It strengthens my own culture, my lyrics...
Do you play live?
I play regularly Live and the very best moment was my invitation by -M- in the Dome in Marseille, such as in Labo-M- in Paris; a lot of artists and a lot of music styles combined into one... It was cool. Before, I went in Dour Festival, invited by la FF and Afrika Bambaataa. I met a lot of artists that gave me their influence in some way. My next Live will be in Marseille and after a BeatBox Battle at the end of September.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It changes our way to discover musicians: here, near me, but hidden or a local one, at the other side of our little planet. Internet opens the mind and brakes business rules to enforce the weigh of art and I don't mind if it drives to many millions dollars losses for multimillionaire stars. No price for culture...
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Yes, this is important to know what is right or wrong in a system and evaluate what can be good to widespread your own work. Being paid for what you create is a privilege. The most important is to keep in you the values you enforce, even if money tells you with a big smile to pack it off.

Your influences?
Jazz (Joshua Redman, James Crater, Diane Reeves, always Ella and Chet Becker), Rock (from Pink Floyd to Korn, passing through U2 and Red Hots) and Hip Hop (since 2 weeks, only Elocution from Killa Kela, the next album will be a worldwide revelation;; RoxorLoops from Beatoxic…amazing; the last Busta Rhymes, another bomb and waiting for the latest DJ Mehdi).
Equipment used:
A JTS NX 8, the microphone perfectly sized for my noises...
Anything else...?
Now, I have a group: drums, piano, guitar, bass and I, singin', beatboxin'. All the compositions available over there are re-structured by 5 artists to make live my music and give them a real soul and sense during the show.
See you soon in a Beatbox battle or in one of my Lives.
Peace.
