90 Day Fiancé: The Other Wayalum James Solis suspiciously launched a music career after appearing in season 6, pointing to the idea that he had a plan. James appeared in90 Day Fiancé: The Other Wayseason 6alongside his wife,Meitalia “Tatha” Tatric Solis. Tatha is from Indonesia, and she and James met online before he went to Indonesia to meet her in person. When they debuted onThe Other Way, the pair had already been married for five years and were living in James' native Maine.
James worked for his family’s elevator company while Tatha made jewelry.Tatha had a swallowing problem with her throatand felt American medicine wasn’t working for her, so she and James moved to Indonesia with plans to help her family make banana chips and figure out Tatha’s medical issues. They left their dog behind and an over $700 a month car payment. James eventually left Indonesia without Tatha after not being able to financially provide for her there. Now, it seems like James used the show to gain notoriety to launch a music career.
James & Meitalia Heighten Their Drama For More Screen Time
Were They Being Authentic In Some Ways?
Tatha became infamous in90 Day Fiancé: The Other Wayseason 6 for how often she cried and had epic breakdowns. She cried over disappointing her parents, her relationship with James, the thought of going back to America, their abandoned dog, and more (viaAccess Hollywood.) When Tatha would have these meltdowns, James mostly remained stunned and quiet and tried to comfort her best he could.
Now that James appears to be a clout chaser since he launched a music career, it begs the question of whether they heightened their drama to get more screen time. James and Tatha seemed more chill in their life back in Maine, but as soon as they started filming and got to Indonesia, the waterworks and drama came. It’s possible that’s just how Tatha is, as she’s claimed, butit’s also possible that they ramped up the entertainment to attain more relevancy.

As soon asThe Other Wayseason 6 finished airing,Jameslaunched his music career on Instagram.James performs under the artist name MT Sounds.
He shared a clip of a music video he made for his song “Calling ME,” on June 08, 2025.
While James does appear to have a good voice and the music video is quality, it’s suspect that he debuted his music on the heels of his90 Day Fiancéappearance. He got a lot of support from his fellow90DFalums like Sarper Güven, Corona Blakey, and Kyle Gordy, and from fans.
The timing of his music drop seems intrinsically coordinated with the end of his time on the show. That could have to do with an NDA he signed which possibly included not launching any entertainment careers, orit could just be him capitalizing on his90 Day Fiancéstardom.He did not tout his musical talent before the show, and he didn’t mention it on the show either, which steers the narrative that his debut was calculated.
