BMI Indie Spotlight: j solomon

Posted in News on July 10, 2025

Raised in rural Pennsylvania and now based in Los Angeles, j solomon is a songwriter and storyteller first. Influenced by lyricists like Townes Van Zandt, Adrianne Lenker, and Justin Vernon, he’s carved out a voice that’s emotionally direct and narratively driven. His 2023 debut EP, Sleeping in the Garden, blended the softness of modern folk with sweeping, atmospheric rock — a stepping stone toward the louder, messier world of KILL THE ROCKSTAR. Drawing on the raw energy of early-2000s guitar bands, his sophomore EP is an all A-side indie rock record tracing a fictionalized frontman’s unraveling in the pursuit of fame and validation. The project is accompanied by a six-part short film of the same name, released earlier this month.
