Production & composition
Afrobeats, Amapiano, orchestral approaches and the creative discipline of writing for media.
A bit about
me.
I'm Adrian Silas, a music producer, composer and voice-over artist based in Johannesburg. I've been making music since 2007, and I've ended up working in a few different corners of the creative world.
How I got here.
Music has been part of my life long before it became my full-time work. Here are eight chapters of the journey, from the early recording days to the business I’m building today.

Still making.
Still learning.
I've done beats, songs, music for television, voice-over, and a fair amount of work helping other creators understand their rights. I like experimenting, pushing sounds around and seeing what comes out. Some ideas go nowhere. Others turn into the things people remember.
Rather than splitting all that across different places, I wanted one home for the work.
