Solomon grew up in Washington Housing Projects in Harlem, surrounded by music, culture, and challenges. His parents, strong in faith and family values, kept him grounded with church on Sundays and lessons about right and wrong. Inspired by actors like Denzel Washington, Wesley Snipes, and Bruce Lee, Solomon discovered his love for performing early through school plays and sports like basketball. In 1996, his family moved to Atlanta, where he attended South Atlanta High School. He joined the football and track teams and dreamed of making it to the NFL. But life took an unexpected turn due to struggles at home. Still determined, Solomon moved out, continued pursuing acting and music, and never stopped believing in his dreams.
Solomon’s acting career began with background roles, where he built strong connections and learned from industry professionals. His big break came through Central Casting, landing roles in well-known shows like The Resident, Marvel TV series, Dynasty, and The Game.
