About Me


My passion for music comes to me long before any other memory.....
At times it feels like just a vivid dream but I will always remember the moment I knew that music was my place in life. I had just finished a performance in a theatre production, I was feeling buzzed as the energy was high.
"This is where I feel at home" I remember thinking.... I was 10 years old at the time....
In my early dayz, I had heaps of involvement in musical theatre, piano lessons and singing my lungs out developing my voice
An outlet of expression would soon be discovered through the art of song writing. To break it down into a few sentences, my first collaborative group was a rocky/funky style band for which I was lead singer and co-writer. My next project was electronica duo ‘Sonic Anarchy’ and then pop/r&b duo ‘SzilvaTek’. I studied classic style and have done the whole opera training thing too ) and went to jazz and improve school. I’ve tasted heapz of different stylez of muse and am now on my own lil’ mission.

In a word, my sound can be categorized into the genre of urban industrial and experimental licks, it also contains elements of dance, pop (please don’t hate me... it’z just a tad) and of course where my rootz began.... ROCK! BABY ROCK!! influences ... My muze is a mix of styles layered with vocal harmoniez that fuse into a style of its own...... enough with the description, I guess u hear a lot more of what I’m talking about on my album.

My music has related a common ground between people from all over the world. My lyrix bring my thoughts, experiences and beliefs together. Everytime I write a new song I’m getting closer and closer to creating a new style and sound that’z got it’z own unique lick.... you’ll see wha I mean ;)
I taught myself the techy bitz of production and recording and set up shop to make a studio for my first album. I wrote, produced and recorded this 12 tracks album on my own. To get a piece of the cake, click on the pic of my album to the left. People from all over the world incuding South Africa, India, the UK, France, Hungary,Canada, the US and of course Australia that lil’ ‘ole place down under have experienced this album and responded to it in such impactful ways. Thank you all heaps!

Influences:If you’re waitng for me to start reeling off a bunch of acts in the eye of pop culture...that certainly isnt the case here. If anything, pop culture has influenced me to stay away from it..... to find out what my game play is, I’ll be writing a blog up soon regarding this so keep your eyez peeled.Az u would have noted in my brief bio, I’ve been involved in many different genrez of the music world and my debut , self titled album - "Szilva," is the prime example of the ever expanding relationship I share with music. To get your copy, ask me how! If you were to ask me who one of my BIGGEST influencez are in the music world, what do you think I’d say?...Take a good listen to my music and take a shot... it’z not the most obvious one to guess;) More so than eva after the recent release of the madd new album that Year Zero is. I don’t have 2 think twice about answering this one - Mr. Trent Reznor, u’r a genius mate, he truely nailz that industrial element right on the head.Here’z a bit of trivia for ya, the first tracks I ever wrote were in the rock genre. and recently, I’ve been diggin’ into my rock rootz and incorporating this with some dirty, dark electronica. I’m coming up with some crazy, hot new stuff that will blow you away ;) but u’ll have to wait and see to know exactly what I’m talking about.....Some of the most amazing concerts I’ve seen live include NIN, Faith No More, White Zombie, Prince, Mr. Bungle (Mike Paton’s side project) and who could forget the forever reigning Silverchair. At the moment I’ve got some grouse tunez that just keep on ringin’ from artistz such az RHCPz, NIN (year zero), Faith No More, Soundgarden, and Smashing Pumpkinz to name a few namez. Some of my old skewl inspirations in music include Prince, Soundgarden, Michael Jackson. Regurgitator and the Stone Temple Pilots.
