ed. He moved onto Cape Town to complete his tertiary studies as a physiotherapist. Following this he moved to Johannesburg to complete his masters degree in physio as well as build his music business. Silas has been in the music industry for almost 10 years. His journey started in 2007 when he started producing. With nothing but some classical violin training, he proceeded to make beats as a post-lecture hobby. His first real opportunities to collaborate came about in 2010 when he met J-Lawless and PdotO online. He fostered this relationship and later met up with them in Johannesburg in 2012. He also owes his music growth to Blaqphamas and Nick Explicit’s initial contributions. Silasbeats is a music production unit headed by Silas operating under Soundscape Productions. Silas currently produces a multitude of genres. Commercially, pop and hip hop are his bread and butter, but with regards to television music, he also delves into kwaito, EDM, house, RnB and tribal sounds. His classical training also affords him the opportunity to work on music suitable for movie scores. Silas draws inspiration from his mood. He takes pride in being able to walk into studio and produce regardless of how he feels. His music influences are Timbaland, Ryan Leslie, Dr Dre and Kanye West in that particular order.

Silas is steady adding value to new artists careers through his website www.silasbeats.info here he goes deep into topics that artists and producers are faced with on a daily basis. He also uses his website as a beat store and a hub for anyone looking for his production services. The plan is to grow the business into a company with a group of inspired people looking to create quality music and provide value to all producers, rappers and singers. Hard work and hustle is the belief in this camp. There is always progression at Soundscape and Silasbeats.

The advice that shines through all the businesses actions is that nothing great will come from building. Social media:
