They Call Him Euroflo
Ever have the radio on and hear a song you've never heard before but can't help but cut it up and listen? There is something about it that you enjoy- it's different, it's new- it's Hot!! That's the feeling you get when listening to music from up a coming artist Euroflo. This is no regular artist on the rise. This 26yr old Brooklyn based talent can write, produce, perform and keep you wanting more. With such a unique name as Euroflo, one has to wonder were did it originate from. It all started in Harlem when he relocated from Brooklyn. Euro also known as his Solo(short for his real name Solomon) was one that prided himself in his appearance. Decked out from head to toe, he was one that admired the European cut and fashion sense of style. He wore his confidence on the sleeves of his tailored fit clothing and it was obvious to others. Friends as well as family took notice of his style and would make comments like " I see you on your Euroflo." He was different and always knew he was. Being what is considered the "norm" was never his style and this is not just depicted in his since of fashion but also in his music.
Euro growing up had a talent that to many was evident- basketball. He was nice and to many he had a future further then some professional basketball players. Though it was a sport he enjoyed, it was never a question if music would be in Euro's future as it was what him and his family lived and breathed. Having brothers that were artist on Def Jam and producers just made the passion for music deeper as he would be around and in the studios with them. But it wasn't just being in the music atmosphere that Euro enjoyed. It was the creative art of music that gave him a thrill. "I fell in love with the art of creating, inspiring, and the process of putting it all together in music."
The push to become a successful artist came at the age of 19yrs old when he met his good friend Lonnie Levine. He would push him and always believed in Euro's future as an artist. They would have freestyle sessions in packed dorm rooms and go for hours! Lonnie unfortunately passed away a time later but before he did he made Euro promise him that he would give his everything and one day make it to the top. Lonnie's presence in Euro's life though short lived left a permanent mark on Euro's heart. It made him realize just how talented he was and having someone believe in him that much could only mean there were more out there that would/could believe in him so he had to make it to the top and that's just what he plans on doing.
What keeps him motivate you ask? His two smallest yet biggest fans - His daughters! They think nothing but the world of him bragging to friends and teachers about who their father is and what he does. This is what keeps him waking up and thinking "Don't give up." With motivation comes inspiration and being a Brooklyn born artist, its no surprise that Jay-Z is his biggest music inspiration. Its not just the fact that he came from the same streets as Euro but its the fact that he came from the same streets and he has become who he is today. He is proof that hard work pays off and doors open for those who really push the limits and open the door themselves. Yes Jay-Z is known for his music going down as one of the best in history but he is also a well known business man. He has gone places, did things and seen people some of us only dream about. This is the inspiration that Euro uses everyday to keep pushing forward.

And people sure come out to support! FirstClassLadies have witness first hand the talents of Euroflo. His diverse audio is a start that sets him apart from the rest. Being a writer for different artist in different genres of music, allows Euro to create a sound as well as style of music that can not be duplicated but appreciated by those that listen. Here is where that not following the "norm" comes into place. While most artist may follow the trend being set by another artist, Euro follows his own trend.
The proof is in his music as he has two mixtapes available on http://www.datpiff.com/ titled "Passport to Success" and "Passport to success: Cicquot Life." He also has a collaboration album on iTunes called "Digifresh Boys: Party Time" He has performed all over New York, Connecticut, and Marthas Vinyard. He just finished up his label called Ascot.Music.Group. He has a collaboration project along with his artist Gatzby and Juss-B titled "B.A.M" which dropped July 10th on Datpiff.com and just when you thought he might considered slowing up a bit, he has his EP dropping at the top of 2014!
Words for the public from Euroflo? " Just want to say I appreciate the art of music and the history behind it. I live to inspire people who truly believe in following their dreams."
