Biography

Born in Algeciras in 1964, he was raised in neighbouring Los Barrios until age 6, later moving to Seville with his family.[2][3] Part of the Sevillian musical scene in his youth, he was bassist-singer of Hacienda Somos Todos and Libertad Provisional.[4] He later joined Arden Lágrimas and became the vocalist of rock band Los Relicarios, sharing stage with Santi Amodeo.[4][5][6] Los Relicarios released two albums, Detentebala (1991) and Doblegado a sus pies (1994).[4]

Solo earned a licentiate degree in Education Sciences from the University of Seville and trained his acting chops at the Seville's Instituto de Teatro.[7] After debuting as a stage actor in 1989 and making a number of television appearances, he landed his feature film debut in the drama Everything in Place,[7] released in 2002.
