Solstice Alfie may be a fresh new face on the Tucson music scene, but he's been singing since before he could talk, and writing and composing original music since he was nine years old. Solstice plays guitar, viola, ukulele, recorder and keyboard bass guitar, electric guitar, but their best instrument is their beautiful voice.

 

Solstice is a prolific songwriter with over 250 hundred original compositions. Each song tells a personal story, whether it’s a story of love (Here to Stay or Breathe), social commentary (Wishing Well) or throwing a bit of sassy shade (Shit Talker or Heartbreaker). They released their first album, Angel from Hell, in 2018, with their producer and collaborator, Michael Martinez (musician, songwriter, and Executive Director of www.livetheatreworkshop.org).

​

Solstice is a queer, trans, and autistic musician whose unique voice reflects their passion for human rights and social justice. They performed at AIDSWalk Tucson in 2014-2019, and have also performed at fundraising events for the Southern Arizona Gender Alliance, the LGBTQ+ Alliance Fund, and others.

 

He is also an avid traveler, and flew to Italy and Iceland in the summer of 2018 to work on his music videos with his boyfriend and collaborator, filmmaker Cosmo Brusa Zappellini (https://cosmo724bz.wixsite.com/cosmobz).

 

Solstice is a student at the University of Arizona, where they are majoring in gender studies and psychology and minoring in creative writing.
