Conversations with Solomon Van Buren

Today we’re excited to be connecting with Solomon Van Buren again. If you haven’t already, we suggest you check out our prior conversation with them here.

Solomon, always such a pleasure connecting with you and thank you for sharing your stories, insights and inspiring messages with our community. We’re looking forward to getting the download and what you have been up to since our last interview, but first can you briefly introduce yourself to folks who might have missed the prior conversation.
Hello, My Name is DJ Solothedon! I am a Club, Festival, and Freelance DJ! I love performing and putting on the best luxury events and parties for my clients. I’ve been a Dj in Denver since 2018. I have worked with a lot of amazing up and coming talent in Denver and have been blessed to have been apart of some really amazing events. Some highlights include being apart of events with some big name artist like D-Trait, Midas, Bow Wow and The Dog Pound.

I bring high energy to every set I’m apart of . Not just music. Lights, stages, smoke, fireworks , sounds , staging, bands ! I really aim to take my events beyond just myself performing. I want to leave your friends and family saying your party was the best party they’ve been to yet!

Awesome, so we reached out because we wanted to hear all about what you have been up to since we last connected.
Since we’ve last spoken I have started a YouTube channel/ Personal Vlog! I have continued to perform at a plethora of events in and around Denver Co. The journey has continued to be fulfilling even through the down times. When things got to a low point for me I found one of the best ways to connect with my audience’s who may not be able to make it out to a show would be to vlog the whole event! Its allowed me to connect with my audience in a more vulnerable and active fashion. Go ahead and type DJ Solothedon into your YouTube search bar I will be the first result ! You can also expect to see some awesome live DJ Sets and sit downs during the week on YouTube and Instagram !

A Perfect Day for me would include waking up well rested even it was earlier in the day! Then having breakfast with family! Then maybe some time in the Gym and Spring room. Id have to put on a fresh out fit followed by spending time in the studio. Then taking off to Dj a jam packed event! Id love to dance and have a good time with my friends as well.
