As a songwriter, Solar had a #1 hit as a co-writer on Morgan Wallen’s “Up Down.” He also was named by Rolling Stone as a New Artist You Need to Know.

Now, being invited to perform in the Opry is most definitely a dream come true for the MusicRow “Independent Artist of the Year.”

“It’s been a dream of mine to stand on the circle, since I attended my first Opry performance with my parents on a trip to Nashville when I was 12 . . . it inspired me to move to Nashville and want to make Country music. Always said this was the biggest bucket list moment for me in Nashville, and I can’t believe it’s happening!”
