So Solid Crew star Anthony Melas has shared a glimpse at his new life running a water park in Cyprus after swapping fame for a low-key lifestyle.

The garage band member – who was known by his rap name AM Sniper – is now the assistant director of the ‘No.1 water park’ in the country, Water World.

Anthony, who is known as the ‘king of Ayia Napa’, has been pivotal in securing the party island’s reputation as one of the best destinations for a good time. 

Speaking about the park, Anthony said what ‘started from a family nightclub to multiple venues’ has now evolved into ‘one of the best waterparks in the world.’

He has said: ‘The resort of Ayia Napa is constantly evolving so our vision has no limits.’

Anthony has helped to develop the mythology-themed park, which boasts 150 metre long slides.

He is set to make several personal appearances throughout the summer, alongside other guests including ArrDee, Charlie Sloth and ZieZie in rotation.

The park has already received over 25 international awards, and offers something new for guests each season.

The So Solid crew boasted up to 30 members and Anthony both produced music as well as featuring as an artist himself.

Featuring the likes of Romeo, Harvey, and Oxide and Neutrino and Lisa Maffia, So Solid Crew exploded onto the garage scene in 2001 when their hit single 21 Seconds shot straight to the number one spot.

It was followed by They Don’t Know, Haters and Ride Wid Us, which reached No.3, No. 8 and No.19 respectively.

In 2002 the group landed a TV documentary with Channel 4 titled This Is So Solid

However, after a string of negative press and some band members arrests, many of the group’s gigs were cancelled due to fears of violence.
