Roc Sol is an independent artist from Miami, Florida who is known for his music and abstract, mixed-media artwork. Growing up learning about the elements of hip hop culture, he used his background in graffiti, bboying and emceeing as his inspiration for his debut mixtape, “Tracksides: Volume 1”, released in 2013. The following years he mastered his abstract art style, finding influence by artists such as Basquiat, Damien Hirst, and Kandinsky while still using elements of graffiti to define his technique. As he developed his art, he continued to write songs and released his next project “The Wake Up EP” in 2018. He opened for acts such as KRS-ONE and Westside Gunn while they were touring in Miami. His music is heavily influenced by boom bap and lyricism but it is also a soulful rebellion, using his words to paint the images of motivation in your mind. He often talks about creating will-power out of pure joy while taking losses and failures as life lessons to grow from. His artwork also reflects these themes through his patterns and characters. Notable owners of Roc Sol art include Atmosphere, Dem Atlas, Cool from Cool and Dre, Jon Bellion, Logic, Dizzy Wright, Westside Gunn, Wrekonize, ¡Mayday!, Brother Ali, Daymond John, Miami Beat Wave and D.U.Ivan. His album SOLART is his most creatively inspiring album yet as he combined both his art and music by creating a lyrical coloring book to pair with his album.
