A few years ago we decided in addition to being spouses that we should also become a music/poetry duo and chose the band name Sol Graffiti. If you’re feeling curious you can listen to our debut and only EP on these interwebs. We not only collaborated on this recording project but we decided to also name our business Sol Graffiti, Inc. We love graffiti as an art and as an expression of struggle, triumph and creativity and we hoped the art we created together could shine of hope and light just like the sun which is why we chose the word “sol.”.
Outside of playing a few shows our music/poetry duo didn’t make it very far, but Sol Graffiti, Inc. became one of our greatest collaborations. Since then, we’ve been working with brands and businesses and collaborating with creatives to help them tell better stories through copywriting, script writing, sound design and music composition. We’d love to connect with you about how we can help you tell a better story too!
