Solomon Conyers soon to be Solomon Odartey Tetteh (long story) is better known by his stage name 7th Soana; acronym for (7th Sun of a New Age). A multifaceted recording artist from Charlotte, NC., 7th is on his way to becoming one of the premier faces of the artistic expressive world. 7th Soana blends elements of Soul, Lounge, Lyricism, Poetry, Reggae, Hip-Hop, Jazz & Spoken word into his own category of Music he calls Music of Reciprocity. 7th speaks on issues of Courage, Ambition, Spirituality, Realness, Struggle, & Downfall …. in other words, The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly! 
Solomon was Born to Solomon Lamptey Tetteh & Betty Tetteh Aug. 13th, 1983 in Walterboro, SC. Shortly after Solomon was born, his father, a then Ghanian immigrant moved his family to Decatur, GA. While in GA., the young Solomon grew a deeper connection with the art of music. At the age of ten the adolescent gained an enjoyment for instrumentation and sight music. He would start his music career in the fifth grade playing Trombone in his school band. The next thirteen years of practicing music would serve as his gateway to a world of heaven on earth. 
In 1996 Solomon’s father received an opportunity for better employment and decided to move his family to Charlotte. While in Charlotte the young 7th would continue to practice & perform in his High School band, he later started to add new waves of music to his arsenal. With the rise of the digital era 7th dove into music programming and the midi world. The next 19 years were dedicated to the study of music in all genres; creating music, music theory, programming, & writing. Solely a producer at this time 7th will not partake in the performing side until the early 2000′s. A love for language, communication, and spoken word would reel him in. He began working on his Campaign in 2007 with a series of projects he termed, FMGF, better known as “Fuck Money Get Free”. He quotes, “FMGF is my motto that I am using to raise the awareness of money as a tool, and not as a leisure … not to say you can’t have leisure, but that leisure has to bring value to your life”. Now 4 volumes deep the Artist does not intend to give up the race. 
Through various projects & live performances 7th intends to bring back the true reality & creativity of the conscious mind. He is a great breath of fresh air! The world will appreciate his many gifts.

I grew up on metal from 70’s, then got into alternative, industrial and punk in the 80’s, and then house, techno, rave and d-n-b in the 90’s, and since then dubstep, rap, classical, country, and pop, so really my influences are pretty broad. I always enjoy discovering new music, and am always listening to new artists, much more so than most people I think. I’m a little weird that way.

A big thank you to all who stop by to listen. I am grateful for any and all support!
