“Today, we’re sitting down with an artist whose name alone carries biblical weight, Songs of Solomon. Known for weaving scripture, personal testimony, and raw honesty into his music, he’s here to talk about his latest single, ‘Waiting On Faith.’
This track is a reminder that trusting God isn’t always about getting quick answers. Sometimes, it’s about holding steady in the silence, choosing to believe when you can’t see the full picture.
We’re going to dive into the inspiration behind the track, how waiting has shaped his walk with Christ, and why his music is striking such a chord in today’s world. Let’s get into it.”
For those meeting you for the first time — who is Songs of Solomon in your own words? Songs of Solomon is a storyteller at heart. I’m a crossover artist from Southampton, UK, blending Contemporary Christian Music with pop and rock influences. My music is about connecting deeply, whether with faith-based or mainstream listeners and through songs that carry hope, honesty, and emotional truth.
When did your journey in Christian music begin, and what inspired you to start creating faith-based songs? My journey began after a long break from music, during a time when my faith had become the anchor that held me together. I realised that my story, struggles, and victories could serve others if I put them into song. Writing faith-based music felt natural because it was simply an extension of my conversations with God.
How do you balance being a musician with your personal walk with God? For me, the two are inseparable. Music isn’t something I do outside of my faith. it flows from it. I stay grounded through prayer, reading Scripture, and surrounding myself with people who speak truth into my life. That keeps the art authentic and the heart in the right place.
What was the first spark or moment that led you to write “Waiting On Faith”? It came during a season of deep uncertainty, where all I could do was wait. I had no clear answers, no instant solutions. I had only faith to hold onto. That tension between not knowing and still trusting became the seed for the song. That tension is captured in the opening lines, “I’m speaking to shadows, words fading fast. Questions keep pouring, but answers don’t last.”
The title alone suggests patience and trust — how do those themes play out in the song’s lyrics?Patience and trust run through the entire lyric. In the chorus, “I’m waiting on faith, holding my breath. Silent conversations, not finished yet” shows the decision to keep believing even without visible answers.
Were there any specific life experiences or testimonies that shaped this song? Yes. I was in a place where plans had fallen apart and uncertainty was heavy. That’s reflected in the second verse: “All that I planned, feels miles away, But something inside me begs me to stay.” It was a reminder that faith is sometimes just choosing to stay when everything says leave.
Can you describe the songwriting process — was it a sudden burst of inspiration or a slow, prayerful journey? The core idea for Waiting on Faith came very quickly. I sat with my guitar and the melody and main hook fell into place almost instantly. From there it became a slower, more prayerful process of shaping the verses and bridge to fully express the emotions I wanted to capture. I spent time reflecting, refining the words, and making sure every line felt honest and connected to the heart of the song.
Did you face any creative or emotional challenges while making this track? The biggest challenge was keeping the song relatable while being personal. I didn’t want to overcomplicate the message. It’s simple but true: faith often looks like holding on when you feel like letting go.
“Waiting on faith” is something many listeners can relate to. What does that phrase mean to you personally? It means trusting God’s timing, even when my heart wants answers now. It’s knowing He’s present even if all I hear is silence. That’s why in the chorus I also sing “Silent conversations, you’re not done yet”. It’s that moment of realisation that even in the waiting, God is still working and the story isn’t over.
How do you hope God uses this song in the lives of your listeners? I hope it meets people exactly where they are, in the quiet, in the uncertainty and reassures them they’re not alone.
Do you see music as ministry first, or as art that happens to be faith-inspired — or both? For me, it’s both. The ministry is in the message, but the art is how the message reaches people’s hearts.
In today’s culture, how do you keep your message unapologetically Christian while still connecting with a wide audience? By writing from real-life experiences and emotions. I don’t try to force a sermon into a song; instead, I let my faith shape the perspective and truth behind the lyrics.
What musical influences shaped your sound on “Waiting On Faith”? Over the years it has always been the great songwriters who have shaped me. Many of my influences come from popular music, from artists like Joni Mitchell to The Beatles and beyond. I have always been drawn to a slightly retro feel in production and I love the warmth of acoustic instruments. Those elements naturally found their way into Waiting on Faith.
How do you blend modern production styles with the timeless message of the Gospel? We used full instrumentation. Acoustic guitar at the core, but layered with strings, pads, bass, and drums and electric guitar, to make it feel current and dynamic while carrying lyrics that speak eternal truths.
What’s next after “Waiting On Faith”? Any upcoming releases, projects, or collaborations you can hint at?
I am currently collaborating with Meeting of the Mimes on a song called Held by You, which we hope to release by October. I am also working on a project with a pop artist in Japan, which is an exciting opportunity to explore a different musical space. There is a lot happening, so I encourage people to follow me on social media for updates. Full details are available on my website at iamsongsofsolomon.com
If you could deliver one message to your fans and new listeners right now, what would it be? Don’t let the silence make you think God’s gone. He’s still there.
What’s your favorite Bible verse, and why? Isaiah 40:31—“But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength…” It’s a promise that strength will come, even when you feel like you have nothing left.
If you could perform “Waiting On Faith” anywhere in the world, where would it be? I would love to perform it in a packed stadium or arena with thousands of voices singing the chorus together. The song is so relatable that I can imagine that moment becoming more than just a performance. It would be a shared experience of hope and encouragement. Seeing that many people united in a song about holding on through uncertainty would be incredibly powerful.
