Sol Colon, Born and raised in the Bronx, this Latin beauty was blessed to
have supportive parents who exposed her music, especially since birth. She remembers her parents late night parties with her
father Julio playing the Conga's and her mother Santa dancing to the rhythm. Julio who's first brake in the 70's
was to record an album as a percussionist lived for Salsa Music. He knew by listening to an album who was who from the vocalist
to the Bongo player. Her parents had a tremendous influence on Sol*s music career. Her first entry into the entertainment
was at the age of 9 when a recruiter held auditions at her neighborhood which she attended and became a finalist for. This
would be her very first big brake she was asked to perform for a charity event in Central Park as an open act for Brenda K.
Starr, Coro, Cynthia & Fat Boys which were all very popular in the 1980's. This would be the match that lit the fire
for Sol!
Sol's passion only became intense when she attended Junior High School for
the performing arts Rafael Hernandez and found that although R&B & Freestyle were to here liking that something was
missing. One day while at a NYC nightclub she witness the performance of Frankie Ruiz and Los Hermanos Colon she felt like
she found herself. This is what I was missing? She claims she knew right then and there that her passion for music was in
Salsa Music! The rhythm, the dance, the sound, the live music. A few years later Los Hermanos Colon ask if she would record
a song on their album "Abriendo Nuevos Caminos" and she recorded "Cuando Una Mujer" a song she fell in
love with.
With the release of her debut album "Si Te Vas" and with strong support
of her family and friends, Sol hopes to present her own positive outlook on life and to help bring a unity amongst Latinos
through her music.

Tony (TNT) Rojas was born Jose A. Rojas-Miranda on January 07, 1941 in Santurce,
Puerto Rico, a district of San Juan, to Juan Rojas and Franchesca Miranda. During his early years, Tony’s parents paid
25 cents for their two young children (Tony and younger sister, Nury) to enroll in private academic instruction by Maria Luz
Piliche from 9am – 12pm. It was at this time that Tony and his sister were exposed to the world of
music. As Tony entered elementary school at Tomas Carrion Maduro, he continued to explore his musical talents
by singing in choir and other school functions. Tony was immersed in music at home as well.
His mother frequently listened to an amateur radio show called “Quinones Vidar ”, which was
very popular in San Juan during the 1940’s. She and Tony would sing along with the amateur performers
and musicians that later became famous artists such as Bobby Capo, Bury Caban, Jose Antonio Salaman, Fernandito from the Trio
Los Vegabajeños, Ramito the Legendario, and even Tony’s favorite first cousin on his father’s side, Felipe
Rodriguez “La Voz”. Thus, Tony’s musical roots run deep.
At the age of 7 years, Tony’s family moved to New York City, NY for
a better life – to live the American dream. Tony grew up on the East Side of Manhattan by 117th
street on 1st Avenue & Paladino Avenue, which was a considered an Italian neighborhood. After
graduating from 5th grade, his parents moved to Spanish Harlem to 104th street on Lexington and Park
Avenue. While at Patrick Henry Junior High School, Tony enrolled in music and vocal classes to better develop
his singing abilities. During his late adolescence at Metropolitan High School, Tony’s parents gave
birth to two more children, Miki and Johnny. As a result, the family of four became a family of six and
the 1950’s proved to be a time of financial crisis for the Rojas family. Therefore, Tony was force
to leave high school prematurely during his junior year to support the growing family.
Tony worked a number of jobs to help pay for food and rent. Of greatest use to Tony
was his employment at a factory in which he served as a material cutter. Tony learned to become a professional
material cutter and stayed loyally with the company until it closed. It was during this time that
Tony met a skinny young man named Tito Ramos. After a few arguments related to incorrect directions and
an exchange of some strong words, Tito and Tony became the best of friends. Tony shared his musical experiences
with Tito, which included playing the cowbell, guiro, claves, using Spanish lyrics and developing the Ritmo Hispano.
Tito facilitated Tony’s career by introducing him to Johnny Colon.
Johnny Colon would pass by Tony’s apartment building everyday on his way home and smile at this
man who would always play music, sing, and play his bell in his front window. Unbeknownst to Johnny, this
man was Tony Rojas. At the time, Johnny Colon was a rising star and was in the process of forming his own
group. Tito became part of Johnny’s group and invited Tony to watch a rehearsal. Initially,
Johnny Colon was opposed to this intrusion; however, as Tony frequented the rehearsals, Johnny was more tolerant.
After Johnny Colon’s orchestra was established, there became a need for someone to sing backup. Tito
immediately volunteered Tony because no one else could “sing like Tony!” Although Johnny was
hesitant, he hired Tony for the evening. The show was a success and that night a band was born.
Tony played with the Johnny Colon Orchestra from 1964-1967 and recorded two albums –Boogaloo Blues (1966) and
Boogaloo ‘67 (1967). At the end of the year, Tito left the band to work with Joe Bataan and recorded
an album called “Subway Joe.” Tony also left the band in the summer of 1967 and started the
“TNT Band.” When news of this spread to Tito, he left Joe Bataan and joined Tony to being recording
in January of 1968 (TNT = Dynamite). Thus, the famous TNT Band was formed.
Works completed by the TNT Band include TNT = Dynamite (1968), Mission
Accomplished (1968), The Meditation (1969), TNT Boys: Sex Symbols (1969), TNT Orchestra: Together (1977), and Caliente (1998).
Works by Tony Rojas’ Orchestra include Introducing Tony Rojas (1970) and El Chino Divino (1971).
