About Me

..Dan Silva, artist & producer born in Madrid-Spain, but grown in the Canary Islands, received a mixed influence due to his family origins, between Venezuela and Spain. Born in a musicians enviroment and being his mother a singer, he inherited a rich world of different styles, rythms, melodies. As a keyboardist, he made his way playing through many groups, to eventually find his own style and passion. Put toghether a good funk beat, with elegant harmonies coming from Rhodes and Synth Sounds, combined with a personal voice in its own Soul/R&B style, and you´ll have an idea of what Dan Silva sounds like. Despite of his own proyects, he works as producer/composer for different artists, some of them known, from Spain to New York and L.A. Recently, one of his tracks has been included in the brand-new album of the great keyboardist/producer Bob Baldwin: NEW URBAN JAZZ, wich includes heavy weight artists like Jocelyn Brown or Frank McComb.----------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------- Dan, artista y productor nacido en Madrid-España, pero criado en las islas Canarias, recibió una mezcla de influencias debido a los origenes de su familia, entre Venezuela y España.
