Through meeting along their individual journeys and forming friendships, Randy, Gussy and Viper G officially became Silver Star around 1996, aged 15. They started off playing locally, mainly in the North West London area (where they all grew up) at events such as house parties and christenings, their growing popularity meant this soon escalated in more bookings for various other events, especially under 18 raves, as due to their young age they had first hand knowledge of what the party goers wanted.
Their reputation soon preceded them as their versatile styles secured them well-deserved respect from peers and elders alike. This status insured a demand and has surfaced in Silver Stars bookings for supporting top artists including Beenie Man, Sean Paul, TOK, Lexxus, Beres Hammond and many more on their UK tour dates. They have also played alongside some of the worlds top sounds and djs including Stone Love Movements, Tony Matterhorn, Kilamanjaro, Fire Lynx, Mighty Crown and also the UKs very own Heartless Crew, Roll Deep, Rampage, So Solid Crew, Pay As You Go Crew and more.
