KING SOL

Benjamin Solomon (born May 31, 1998), known by his stage name KING SOL, is an American recording artist from San Francisco, California, United States. He gained online recognition through a series of mixtapes released on SoundCloud from 2014-2016. Be Somebody, his first album, was released on May 22, 2016 and executive engineered at DJ Khaled's We the Best Studios. Solomon's most popular songs are "Life", "Hunnid in the Sixty", "Stresses", "DeLorean", and "Last".

Solomon was also featured on Austrian EDM duo Leaving Las Vegas' hit '"Varth Dader". The song was released simultaneously with Disney's 2015 revival of Star Wars, causing it to go viral online. Solomon is known for his involvement in a school spirit video that included an appearance by NBA star Stephen Curry. He has also performed with Billboard-charting artist George Watsky (both musicians attended the same high school in San Francisco). In June 2016, he was on the front page of SF Weekly.

Solomon attends Tufts University in Massachusetts.

In early 2017, Solomon began "Winter Wednesdays," a campaign to release a new song every Wednesday through SoundCloud. Each track was recorded during a 3-day period of his winter break from college. He followed this by releasing the original songs from the campaign to digital platforms under the name "Winter Thoughts EP" on February 27, 2017. In a tweet, Solomon hinted that his next album will be recorded in an industry-level studio. This is a departure from his past, as he only used a USB microphone for projects before this. No release date for the debut studio album has been announced.
