Early life[]

He was born as Solon Ben Wixler to a musically inclined family, whose musical past included a band called The Wild Blue Yonder,^[1] which included his parents and uncle.

Music[]

In 2001, Solon joined Thirty Seconds to Mars playing guitar. He left the band in 2003 due to issues related to touring. Since 30 Seconds to Mars, Solon has played in a revolving array of bands such as All Smiles,^[2] Earlimart^[3] and Sea Wolf.^[4] Over the years Solon and Rachel Stolte had been trading music recorded on their own four-track recorders. Eventually this led to creation of Great Northern. Solon, in order to get a band together, asked Davey Latter to join. Latter originally played bass guitar but later moved to drums when Ashley Dzerigian joined.
