Silvastone: International Showcase Fund (A3C 2016)

Silvastone is a fast-rising UK based artist/producer whose unique sound is a creative hybrid of African Beats, and British Street Sounds sprinkled with infectious Global Melodies. Fusing influences from his West African heritage, UK upbringing and global travels the self-taught multi-talent has created an exciting musical formula that has seen his music intentionally reach fans worldwide. His music is heavily supported by many popular broadcasters and platforms globally including BBC, MTV, KissFM, Fremantle, etc.

The MOBO nominated “Best African Act 2015” nominee has performed all over the UK and worldwide including touring support for Fuse ODG, Akon, Davido, etc. Over the last 18 months he has performed at Wembley Arena (twice), most O2 venues across England, Glastonbury Festival, Liverpool International Festival, Shoko Festival (Zimbabwe), Industry Nite (Kenya and Nigeria), SXSW Festival 2015 (Austin Texas), NYC’s Roseland Ballroom, etc. His diary for the rest of the year ahead looks equally enticing with bookings for Live At Heart Festival in Sweden

Much of the demand for this charismatic and energetic performer stems from his acclaimed self-produced debut EP, Transitions, which saw some of the most influential DJs and bloggers proclaim him as a future talent to watch. He is now preparing the release of his much-anticipated sophomore EP and thanks to funding support from PRS Foundation he has tirelessly worked to insure that this will be another ground-breaking release from the independent UK scene.

Performing at AC3 follows from increasing US airplay and interest since his showcases at SXSW earlier this year.
