Paul Solorzano is a music maker from Orlando, FL. Sometimes electronic/instrumental, sometimes hip-hop/indie, Solorzano sounds like he's simultaneously hammering out head nodding beats while trapped in a menu of a video game.
Solorzano has a new album of twelve instrumentals called "Why are we here?", scheduled for release in early September 2008. The record combines live and electric drums, keys/synths, electric/acoustic guitars, and plenty of samples, creating a wonderful soundscape to get lost in.
When Paul solorzano isnt composing on his own, he is actively involved in Daylight District: A four piece band formed in 2004. Solorzano plays guitar and sings with the outfit. The band released a full-length album titled “Beautiful, Historic” in May of 2008. It's their second release to date. Both were engineered by Greg Marchak at Audio Lab studios in Tampa, Florida.
On Daylight District's "Beautiful, Historic":
"Orlando/Bradenton quartet Daylight District's full-length Beautiful, Historic melds funk, punk, emo and hip-hop in a highly distinctive manner. Keyboardist/vocalist and chief songwriter Frank Friend alternates between melodic rapping and singing. The lyrics largely focus on personal struggles -- but there are also a couple odes to partying. Tim Heller's bass lines, Aaron O Tobin's drumming and Paul Solorzano's guitar work flesh out Friend's eclectic musings and keyboard foundations. One of the disc's finest numbers, "Are We There Yet?," finds Friend playing acoustic guitar and rapping over a melody that climaxes into a gripping mash-up of indie-rock and funk." –Wade Tatangelo (Creative Loafing, Tampa)
On Daylight District's first E.P., “This is Now”:
“It only has six songs on it, but they are all excellent tracks” – Kayla Anderson (Connections, Orlando)
"…for such a brief record, it's impressive indeed.” – Mark Sanders (Weekly Planet, Tampa)
