Memphis Musicians: FreeSolSigned by Justin Timberlake's label Tennman/Interscope Biography FreeSol Anderson - MCE. Ives - Guitar / VocalsMo D'Anger - BassKickman Teddy - DrumsDJ Charlie WhiteMemphis is America's musical heart and soul. It's the birthplace of rock, the spiritual home of the blues, and more recently, host to some of the best rappers of the past decade.Fittingly, FreeSol has synthesized Memphis' myriad of influences-seemingly via osmosis-and has crafted a fresh sound that is electrifying fans from Atlanta to Los Angeles."We're bringing it back to Memphis," says FreeSol Anderson, ringleader of the 5-piece hip-hop/rock hybrid. "Just being around so many musicians is part of what makes this city great."Comprised of FreeSol Anderson aka Free (MC), Kickman Teddy (drums), E. Ives (guitar/vocals), Mo D'Anger (bass), and DJ Charlie White, FreeSol has been winning over fans all around the South, the Midwest and the Northeast since 2003, via a live show that bridges the gap between rap, rock, funk and soul."What we do is present rap music live," Free explains. "I love to listen to hip-hop in the car, but I don't really run off and go see rap concerts. What we do is try to keep hip-hop entertaining live." The act's energetic sets caught the attention of Memphis native Justin Timberlake, who not only became a fan, but also signed the band to his label, Tennman/Interscope. Memphis Pop is excited about the future of the band, FreeSol.
