Aaron Solowoniuk (pronounced /ˌsɒlɒˈvɒnjʊk/ SOL-o-VON-yuuk) (21 November 1974 Streetsville, Ontario, Canada), is the drummer for the Canadian band Billy Talent.
Solowoniuk was born and raised in Streetsville, Ontario and began drumming at a young age, his first set being a gift from his parents. His father was born in Ukraine. His grandfathers were from Poland.
As he grew up, Aaron continued drumming and eventually met Benjamin Kowalewicz and Jon Gallant at their high school, Our Lady of Mount Carmel Catholic Secondary School where they started a band called "To Each His Own". A few years later, the band met Ian D'Sa who was playing in "Dragon Flower". The four later joined up together and became "The Other One" then later "Pezz". Aaron continued to play in Pezz and after high school, he got his auto body certificate and worked at a Chrysler factory as an assembly line worker. In 1999, Aaron helped record two demo tapes, and Watoosh!, Pezz's first full-length album. Pezz would later become "Billy Talent".
