Early Life and Influences
WikKid Solitude’s musical influences span a wide range, from The Doors to Garth Brooks, and Insane Clown Posse, reflecting his diverse taste and genre-blending style. A lifelong writer, he began crafting stories at an early age and won the Exemplary Writing Award in the 5th grade. His teachers frequently used his work as examples for other students. (Which he despised)
He wrote his first parody song at 14 years old and completed his first full song, My Last Day of School, at age 24.
Musical Career
When WikKid Solitude started his career as a lyricist, he often and mostly only performed his lyrics as acapellas. His songs never had instrumentals originally and he was not having luck linking up with someone who could help him. It wasn’t until 2023 at the gathering from outer space when he linked up with Beast-Man, who was on the quest for exactly such an artist in this very predicament, and was able to utilize his vast repertoire of skills and connections to guarantee the success of his future projects and to secure a special record deal with RenDar Music Entertainment.
A dedicated Juggalo, WikKid Solitude made a mark on the underground rap scene with his music, which often features eerie, comedical themes and personal introspection. Notable songs include Smoke (God's Green Gift), Be Careful Who You Mess With, and Juggalo Love Song. In 2024, he performed his track Gathering Song live at the Gathering of the Juggalos, an experience he described as fun and memorable.
WikKid Solitude is also a vocal member of R.M.E. Elite and is currently working on many projects behind the scene.
Stage Presence and Personality
WikKid Solitude is recognized for his top hat, a signature part of his image. His moniker originates from a personal sense of isolation, explaining, "I don't know, I'm just by myself in my own nugget, and the solitude is wicked." Known for his sense of humor, he collects jokes like trading cards and often shares his unique wisdom, including the advice: "Never take a sleeping pill and a laxative at the same time."
Beyond music, he engages with fans in unconventional ways, such as passing out limited edition Butthole Stickers, and waving around a flag of his butthole which he allows everyone he meets to sign, a bizarre yet defining aspect of his persona.
Writing and Artistic Vision
Writing has been a lifelong passion for WikKid Solitude, with lyrics serving as an outlet for his thoughts and emotions. He describes the songwriting process as "getting the lyrics out of his nugget, like the bees trying to escape." His storytelling background and early literary achievements contribute to the depth and uniqueness of his lyrics. He often talks about delving into a genre called Polka-Core and is always trying to further his ability to come up with creative content.
Norml Al and Parody Performances
In addition to his work as WikKid Solitude, he occasionally performs under the name Norml Al, a persona dedicated to comedic parody songs. While not an official project with recorded music, Norml Al exists as a live, acapella performance style where he showcases his humor and wit through spontaneous parodies. This allows him to engage with audiences in a fun, off-the-cuff manner, blending his love of music and comedy in an improvisational way.
