HCM. How did you come by your stage name?
Solo Deed. I realized being alone made me a stronger person and I take care of myself better than anyone else. I’ve been solo for years, so the name ‘Solo’ kinda stuck with me.
HCM. When did you discover your love for music and what made you realize you wanted to pursuit a career in music?

HCM. On your current/upcoming album… How did you come up with the concept for this project?

HCM. What are some of your greatest challenges as an artist, and what is your greatest attribute when it comes to your work ethic?

HCM. Is there anyone you’d like to thank, any shout outs?
Solo Deed. I’d like to thank God.
