It all began with a dream.
Solachi Voz makes art to confront and demand change, influence the way people think and feel about hip-hop, elevate the status quo and expectations of rappers, and encourage those who feel forgotten.
An aspiring and well-rounded musician, Solachi Voz smashes anyone's expectations of Christian female MC's. Originally from Elkhart, Indiana, she began her career as a hip-hop artist when she was 13 at her home church. After releasing several non-commercial projects, Solachi released her debut mixtape "Poison Control:The Tracer" in March 2012. The tape received a nod from Wu-Tang’s Raekwon, as well as from his DJ Symphony, who hosted the mixtape.
(2) In 2013, Solachi moved to Columbus, Ohio to finish school at the Ohio State University, after going to the University of Dayton in 2008. After the release of Solachi Voz's debut music video to her sociologically and spiritually relative track "Soul Food," her work received over 700,000+ views in its first year, while she still remained true to her virtues. In 2014, Solachi went on her first national tour with the Extreme Tour, traveling for three months across 10 US states.
In 2016, she relocated to Oakland, CA and began to reconstruct her ministry, her heart, and her vision. Since that time, she has toured and collaborated with some of the most notable acts in CHH, while also providing professional writing services to artists signed to major labels within and outside of the genre.
In 2019, she delivered the smash hit “Right Nah,” produced by Darz feat. Miles Minnick, and immediately followed it up with the anticipated single "Way" in March 2020 featuring Sacramento artist Marc Stevens. The singles each garnered over 8,000 streams in one week without promo—proving once again, there is a solid place for Solachi in hip hop.
That fall, she had a headlining appearance on the Invasion Fest Long Beach stop, where she rocked with fellow Bay Area artist JM3 on the tour’s main stage with Bizzle, Datin, Miles Minnick, and George.Rose. In early 2023, she dropped two hit lead singles, “Bounce Back” and “See” from her EP QUASAR she released in December 2023. QUASAR II is in the works for a 2026 release, along with a yet unannounced EPs coming this year as well.
She performed her original song “SEVEN: Reloaded" in two runs of the stage play “To Be More Like You,” a faith based stage play that ran in Walnut Creek and San Jose, CA in 2022 and 2023. In 2024, she was selected as a Rapzilla Freshman, fueling her passion for exploring every subgenre of hiphop.
