SOLOMON ONYEMERE
ABOUT
Solomon Onyemere is a music maker and disc jockey based in Brighton & Hove. He regularly draws inspiration from art, film, photography, vibrant cityscapes, and serene natural environments, and has a keen passion for pairing visuals with sound.
While specializing in groove-based (electronic, disco, etc.) and mood-based (ambient) music, Solomon is well-versed in a wide range of musical styles. He has developed a unique blend of signature sounds, infusing his compositions with emotional, melodic arpeggios, warm and cosmic synth pads, and percussive, playful rhythms.
Solomon’s musical talents have contributed to a diverse range of projects, including documentary films, stage plays, fashion shows (including London Fashion Week), visual art exhibitions, and non-profit organisation initiatives. He has commercially released music on labels such as Universal (Polydor) and Time Records (Rise).
Solomon has forthcoming releases on his label Peakflow later this year.
