Solo is the Dutch songwriter Michiel Flamman in co-operation with among others Simon Gitsels. Flamman, debuted as J Perkin with the self-produced record Exhibit a few years back and has been performing at Dutch festivals and clubs since. In the meantime he’s become something of a critics favorite and gained an ever growing fan base.
In 2004 Flamman joined up with his piano playing friend Gitsels to record the album Songs ‘n Sounds in as little as two weeks time. In the Netherlands it was released by Excelsior Recordings.
The press hailed it as a sublime album:
Ten unbelievable tender popsongs,
(de Volkskrant, biggest newspaper in Holland)
with a quality to be jealous of.
(NRC, evening newspaper)
Fans of Tom McRae and Coldplay can praise themselves very happy with SOLO. (OOR, leading musicmagazine)
Solo was awarded with an Essent Award and performed at Noorderslag festival 2005, which was broadcasted by German Television in Rock-Palast.
In January 2005 Solo started the Songs ‘n sounds Tour. A Silent Concerts tour together with the Silent Disco. A tour with up to 500 headphones available for the audience. After that they went on a 26-date theater-tour with Dutch top-act Spinvis.
In January 2006 Solopeople is released. A more band-orientated album, with intriguing artwork. The pop sensibility is upfront and some of the songs seem to be created for the sole purpose of being played over and over again on the radio.

If you miss the 'original' Solo, you should write a nice text about it, and add it as the 2) Solo.
