Carlos was brought up in the Little Havana area of Miami and started writing and composing in the early 70's. Carlos was well known in the area, recording at the Music Factory & Dukoff Studios and also played on local television programs AM Miami and Fusion. When he married in 1977, Carlos decided to put down the guitar and focus on his business in order to provide for his growing family. Eventually, the Solis family relocated to Clermont, Florida where they currently reside. In 2008 his wife of over 30 years was diagnosed with cancer, and upon this revelation, they sold their flourishing business in order to focus on her recovery.
