With a passion to sing since his early childhood, Singer/Songwriter Silvestry is now living up to his dream. That is... to share his songs across the nations with those who visualize music as a way to uplift one's soul.Born on Feb. 10th in Brooklyn, New York, John Silvestry, with a Puertorican, Italian & Spaniard background grew up singing his favorite songs from cartoon shows. He would also rewind the songs from his favorite movies, write them down and sing them over and over again. At the age of 9 he appeared in a commercial for "Nickolodean." Growing up and attending a Christian Church, Worship through song had a major impact on his life.The beauty of Praise and Worship inspired Silvestry to write his first song at the age of 12. At this age he also entered his first Talent Show singing his original, "All You Have To Do Is Pray." This aspiring performer not only won first place, but captivated the hearts of many.His other musical influences are Cece Winans, Donnie Mc.Clurkin, Alvin Slaughter as well as Janet Ortiz! At the age of 16, He also sung in Madison Square Garden, In choir for Donnie Mc.Clurkin, Alvin Slaughter and other various Gospel Artists.Attending New Utrecht High School in New York, Silvestry took up courses such as Drama, Chorus & Guitar. Owning his first guitar at the age of 17 introduced Silvestry to the Country music genre in which his songs became more personal, addressing the issues of life such as: Love, Pain, Hope, Prayer and Everyday Circumstances as well as Praise and Worship.Whether Silvestry is in a room or walking down the street, his constant smile is one that uplifts many. With the power to sing and bring peace into the heart or tears to our eyes, this ordinary young man just enjoys living life one day at a time. When we asked about the songs he writes his only response: "The Songs that I write are based on what I go through. I always tell God, "God, If I'm Gonna write a song, I want people to cry or remember it forever, I also want them to relate to the words being written. Let it not be words on a white paper but inspiring Lyrics." And when I sing, those are the exact responses I get. I give God ALL of the Glory for the talents which He's given me, Cause without him... I'm nothing!"******
