He gained popularity with his song "Sa Bawat Sandali" which reached the Top 10 on the Spotify Daily Chart and also gained significant attention after being featured in the Philippine television series Ang Mutya ng Section E (2025). [1] [2] Another his single "Ikaw Lang Patutunguhan", released on September 22, 2023, made its debut on the Billboard Philippines Hot 100 at number 98, as revealed in the chart rankings released on February 26, 2025, for the week of March 1, 2025. [3]
His song "Sa Bawat Sandali" debuted at number 58 on Billboard Philippines Hot 100 for the week of February 1, 2025, and peaked at number three on March 5.

Amiel Isaac Sol was born on February 14, 1999, in the Philippines. He grew up in a family of musicians, with his parents meeting during their choir days at church. He began playing the guitar at a young age and joined Battle of the Bands competitions during high school. Even after he and his bandmates went to different colleges, Sol continued writing and performing music independently. [7]
He was a student in the Makati Science High School. He holds a degree in Mathematics from the University of the Philippines Diliman. [8] [9]
Sol has cited Filipino musicians Johnoy Danao and Ebe Dancel as his main influences in songwriting, stating that their work helped shape his own musical style. [10] [11] His music blends romantic lyricism with ambient folk sound. In an interview with The Beat Asia, he shared, his relationship with music began early in his life in elementary school when he learned to play guitar from his neighbor. [12] He noted that his sound traces back to his school days, where he performed pop-rock covers of popular bands like All Time Low and Eraserheads. [12]
His musical style is characterized by minimalist arrangements, often centered on sparse guitar accompaniment and soothing vocals. While his themes typically revolve around relationships, his message of finding in someone a shelter from the storm goes beyond the usual love song just like his song "Sa Bawat Sandali" as reflected the lyrics, Kapag magulo na ang mundo / ikaw ang payapang hinahanap-hanap ko. [13] He is known for writing acoustic-style ballads, usually using the guitar as his main instrument because it is the most accessible to him. Sol has shared that he wants to include more instruments in his future recordings. He started doing this with his song "Fading Away", which showed a noticeable change from his earlier acoustic sound.
