Manolo Solo
Born in Algeciras in 1964, he was raised in neighbouring Los Barrios until age 6, later moving to Seville with his family. Part of the Sevillian musical scene in his youth, he was bassist-singer of Hacienda Somos Todos and Libertad Provisional. He later joined Arden Lágrimas and became the vocalist of rock band La Turmix/Relicarios, sharing stage with Santi Amodeo. Relicarios managed to release a full album, Detentebala.
Solo earned a licentiate degree in Education Sciences from the University of Seville and trained his acting chops at the Seville's Instituto de Teatro. After debuting as a stage actor in 1989 and making a number of television appearances, he landed his feature film debut in the drama Everything in Place, released in 2002.
