Biographie
SoMo came from a musical family and at a young age he was playing clubs around Austin, Texas with his father who was in a band called Duck Soup. Although he took a break from music in high school, he later came back to music in 2008 when his mother gave him a piano. In 2009 he started to perform cover songs and in 2011 some of his cover songs from Drake’s “Take Care” album gained him a huge following when he posted the songs on YouTube. His YouTube videos were consistently gaining more and more views with them garnering over 50 million views.
In 2012 SoMo began focusing more on writing original music and by 2013 he released his debut mixtape “My Life” that he independently released. The mixtape showcased SoMo’s rich, soulful voice and his knack for creating catchy pop songs. After he released his mixtape, SoMo began a YouTube series called “SoMo Sunday” where he released a cover song every Sunday.
Later on in 2013 SoMo embarked on an independent tour that did quite successful and gained the attention of Republic Records who signed him to a record deal. In November 2013 SoMo released his first single “Ride”, which did significantly well on the charts reaching the No. 10 spot on Billboard’s US Rhythmic Songs chart. The song also went on to become certified gold by RIAA.
On 8 April 2014 SoMo released his debut self-titled studio album. The album contained three hit singles: “Ride”, Show Off”, and “Hush”. The album was also commercially successful reaching the No. 6 spot on the Billboard 200 Albums chart and the No. 2 spot on the Billboard R&B chart. Since SoMo’s release of his debut album he has embarked on his headlining “The Wide Awake” tour, which has sold out many dates in many well-respected venues.
Avis
Artists with musical backgrounds seldom stray away from their roots especially if the glove fits. This smooth R’n’B crooner introduced himself as a dope cover artist, covering Drake hits like 'Girls Love Beyoncé' and 'Hold On, We’re Going Home.' In a timely fashion, he released his covers on the same day as Drakes ‘Take Care’ album was announced, and based on the reception of the public - the rest is history. Starting things off by uploading ‘SoMo Sundays’ to YouTube singing a variety of covers, the studio like videography makes his performances very personable, but seeing him perform at iHeart Radio put all of his nuances into perspective. His music touches topics of love and romance, with a performance quality that makes you feel like there are only 2 people in the room – you and him! His intimate performance style make for a perfect date night and singing renditions that audience will know, make him all the more likeable and current while he works on his own material. You’ll be happy to hear that SoMo is preparing for his ‘The Wide Awake’ tour and like his twitter says “If it sounds good, people will listen” and I sure am! Don’t miss it!
SoMo never disappoints! He put on a great show and poured out his heart and soul for us. His vocal ranges really shined with this setlist. The stage set up was beautiful! He has a solid team and their hard efforts always pay off. SoMo is highly underrated for how hard he works and how much dedication and love he has for the music! I will always buy tickets to see him and will always buy his merch! The venue was awesome as well. The staff working kept giving us girl water as we waited in line- that meant a lot! No venue I’ve gone to has cared that much about us fans-you know? The bartenders were also wonderful and made me delicious drinks all night. Staff at The Independent treated us fans like family and not just some loud girls. Thank you for making my night so wonderful! I drove 3 hours to see SoMo and I’m not used to city life at all- the hospitality and kindness all staff showed didn’t go unnoticed at all!
SoMo has always been my favorite Artist. I just recently saw him at The Blue Note in Columbia Mo. This was my third time meeting him and he was a sweetheart as always. I love going to SoMo concerts because I know I'll always be hearing him live with a band and it's a great feeling. His opening acts were amazing. Kid Quill was definently my favorite of the two. The venue was a lil small and crowded but SoMo made the most out of it. I'd recommend going to see him to anyone!!
If you have never been to a SoMo concert, you do not know what you're missing!
I have met him twice and he is the sweetest, funniest, and cutest person. He always puts on amazing shows. I guarantee that you will not be disappointed!
The Wide Awake Tour is fantastic- with all the great music including "Fire," "We Can Make Love," "Show Off," and "Ride," and covers like his "Take Care Medley" and "Power Trip;" and his great performance. SoMo is amazing.
He took wayyy to long to come out to perform. He played for a way shorter time than expected. But other than that he was really good. Next time he should come out sooner so that there is not a 30 min gap between the opener and him. He also should play for longer because some people payed a lot of money to go and only got to hear him for an hour
SoMo was great! He only played for about an hour. Wish he would have played more of his songs! Besides that that's my third time seeing him and it gets better and better Everytime. Both of the opening acts did a fantastic job as well Kid Quill and Caye. Definitely would recommend checking them out too!!!
It was one of the best nights of my life! i got to meet him and he is amazingly sweet. He´s a big flirt but that´s fine with me haha. when he hugs you, which he asks if it´s okay first, he loves to make you feel loved. he kissed the top of my head and i will NEVER forget it!!!
SoMo is such a sensual but goofy guy on stage, loved him! It was my first concert of his and I really enjoyed everything about it. Although I was in the very front, he tries to make sure the people in the back are part of it all. AND I GOT TO MEET AND HUG HIM.
The concert was AMAZING! Literally everything I hoped for! Joseph was amazing! His voice sound amazing live! I loved every minute of it.. Next time he has a concert near me, i'm definitely doing the meet and greet!❤️ Can't wait!
The concert was fantastic, I was in the front and to be able to see him up close was a wonderful view! Kirko Bangz was a big bonus, wasn't sure who the other guy was but he did pretty good. I liked his music as well(:
