Career
In 2009, SoMo started recording covers in Denton, Texas. A successful 2011 mash-up of Drake's Take Care[1] led a massive draw to his YouTube channel, which has garnered 300M+ views on the platform.[2] Throughout 2012, SoMo began to work on original music. His efforts in the studio yielded the independent debut mixtape My Life,[3] merging R&B spirit with pop soul and showcasing his voice and songwriting. The mixtape was released for free on his birthday, September 11, 2013.[1] Simultaneously, he released a new cover video every Sunday as part of his "SoMo Sunday" campaign.[4]
Struck by the success of SoMo's independent national tour, Republic Records partnered with him in October 2013. Following the re-release of his single "Ride" in November 2013, the song peaked at #76 on the Billboard Hot 100.[5] On February 12, 2014, SoMo announced the release date of his self-titled debut album, "SoMo", set for April 8, 2014.[6]
