Biography

SOLA ROSA is the on-going, ever-evolving project of Andrew Spraggon, Aotearoa New Zealand's foremost critically acclaimed and successful beat-maker, songwriter and producer. An alchemist in the studio who amalgamates elements of soul, R'n'B, funk, jazz, hip-hop, pop and more, Spraggon is an intuitive collaborator who places emerging talent alongside established artists to create music which is warm, distinctive and polished. Because of the depth and subtlety of Sola Rosa music, many of the seven albums have been issued in instrumental versions or been handed over to renowned remixers such as Tall Black Guy, Hermitude and DJ Vadim. Tracks from the catalogue have appeared on a number of international compilations and playlists. Sola Rosa has accrued numerous awards and accolades, starting with the 2001 debut album Solarized picking up Best Electronic release at the 2001 New Zealand Music Awards. With glowing reviews of albums and live shows (Secret Garden Party, Green Man, Kendal Calling among the many international festivals) and acclaim in global mainstream media such as the Sydney Morning Herald as well as important music publications (Rolling Stone, Mojo), street press and radio, Sola Rosa has built a following from Berlin and Sao Paulo to Paris and Zurich for unique and often visionary music which is vibrant, exciting, engaging and – perhaps most important – courageously delivering the unexpected. Sola Rosa makes its own kind of soul music.
