Christian Sol Artist Bio

Christian Sol was born and raised in Oslo, the capital of Norway, where he live and have his studio today. Music has always been a big part of his life. His father was a classical musician, and both his sister and mother played the piano. At the age of five he borrowed his mom’s A-Ha cassette with the hit single “Take on me”, and played it in kindergarten. Christian consider this to be his first dj gig ever. All through elementary school, he was the guy bringing the latest dance and house records to the parties and started experimenting with music writing.

A few years later Christian went from playing around with the Casio keyboard, to making music using a computer. He uploaded the tracks on local network servers, long before the internet became main stream, and received great feedback from other electronic music geeks. It took a few years before his first vinyl release on his own record label Clean Productions. It was a groovy deep house record, and it became the record of the week in “Vinyl Junkies” in London. Deep house and tech house have always been Christian’s favorite house genre, but he also worked with other musicians for a more loungey sound.

Around the year 2000, Christian decided to dedicate himself to music full time and attended a sound engineering school to improve his production skills. He started working in a music studio, recording and mixing for bands and artists. A few years later he produced an electronica album together with his friend and label partner. It became one of the most frequently played electronic records on radio in Norway back in 2005. The next year, he went back to his roots and started to produce house music.

Christian have been a professional dj for over ten years. He started out as a pure deep house dj, but now mixing it up with electro and tech sounds. This combination has developed his own sound in music production.
2007 was a great year for Christian. All his productions and remixes have been released on a number of different labels all over the world. Highlights include remixes of Nils Noa’s tracks: Monkeybreak and X-Rated, charted by many great djs including Satoshi Tomiie, Hernan Cattaneo and Steve Lawler. Read more on Last.fm.
