The Meaning Behind the Name
Where does a name like Solachi Voz come from? In a “burning bush” moment of inspiration, she settled on Solachi Voz, a name her faith revealed to mean “blessed voice of the sun.” Thus began the journey of an artist who embodies both creativity and divine purpose.

Rooted in Faith and Family
With Nigerian roots, her upbringing in a Christian household was steeped in faith. Her godparents played a crucial role in her spiritual journey, introducing her to Christianity. Describing this spiritual awakening as akin to a “superhero moment,” it marked the beginning of her lifelong commitment to Christ.

The Birth of a Musical Career
Her early musical inspirations stem from childhood moments, such as napping to the sounds of Beethoven. Yet, it was the opportunity to rap on beats offered by a church member that nudged her toward the hip-hop world. Despite initial resistance, her undiscovered talent blossomed, leading her to a faith-driven music career.
Overcoming Challenges
Navigating the music scene was not without challenges. Her story is peppered with setbacks like a painful car accident, yet her faith and perseverance saw her through. Moving to California marked a pivotal chapter, where she balanced business endeavors with her devotion to music.
A Unique Sound with a Powerful Message
