The 36-year-old well-known composer and the vocalist of Delhi-based Alt-Rock outfit ‘Cyanide’, Rohan had started to exhibit his musical abilities at an early age.

The journey of ‘Cyanide’ came to an end after ten long years and it eventually became inactive by 2014, after giving Sugarcoated in 2011. The ‘Cyanide’, however, turned out to be a milestone success in Solomon’s musical career and introduced him to bands in the U.S. Upon moving to New York, Rohan established ‘Siren’ under which he gave us ‘Voilet Skies’ and later he manifested his Rock Band ‘By Chance’. Under this band Solomon has released a trilogy of tracks—‘Hard To Breathe’, ‘Time’ and ‘Blue Sky’, which address rather grieve issues such as pollution and environmental degradation. All three songs were interestingly inspired by true events that made Rohan realised about the seriousness of the topics. From his appalling asthmatic attack in Mumbai to the bright blue sky of his childhood, all three songs ended up forming a kind of theme, which he felt needed to be shared with the world.

The song was a tribute to the medical warriors, who are saving humanity while risking their own lives in these tough times of corona pandemic. The song was virtually developed and all artists from the different corners of the world had sent audio clips from their home studios followed by video clips. Talking about this marvellous composition, Solomon said, “It felt huge to blend their voices with mine. This was important because musicians are not the only ones going through this, we all are.”
