Solja Kingz (often misspelled as Soulja Kings) is a group that was created by Fernando "Nando" Domínguez III after his fall-out with Cruz Martínez and the group Los Super Reyes. With their different styles and backgrounds, the group encompasses the styles of Cumbia, Salsa, Hip Hop and R&B. The band has been accepted by fans worldwide as the new Kings of Kumbia and have already made several appearances on National broadcasts including Sabado Gigante, El Gordo y la Flaca, Escandalo tv, ¡Despierta América! and Esta Noche Tonight. Solja Kingz also shared the stage with Pitbull (rapper) at the 2009 Fox Sports awards. In 2010, the band's hit music video "Corazon Frio" was featured on mun2 and it ran for 6 months. The band instantly earned the respect of the Latino community and was launched into superstardom. Their debut studio album Radio Activo was released shortly there after.

2011 brought out the best and worst of Solja Kingz. Shortly after it was announced that Solja Kingz was in the studio with Baby Bash, Nando decided to announce the end of Solja Kingz after 4 years together. Sources say that there were internal issues between Nando and his band. The tensions created a rift within the musicians and it inevitably led to the fall of the group. The news came as no surprise to his fans as this is not the first time Nando has had issues with a band. The First time came as a member of the Latin-Grammy award winning group Kumbia Kings in 2006 and shortly after as lead vocalist of Los Super Reyes in 2008. Unfortunately a second album was never released and it remains to be seen if there will be a reunion in the near future. Sources say that Nando will be returning as lead vocalist to Kumbia All Starz.
