Silvastone is the award-winning Afrobeats artist, producer and songwriter ready to create a stir with his latest single "Into You”. Produced at White Hut Studios, the track draws inspiration from J’Dillah and Musiq Soulchild and captures the butterflies-in-stomach feeling of new love. Whether or not you’ve had a summer fling this year, the video, shot by Visionnaire Pictures, will have you feeling like you're on the beach in Gran Canaria, embracing lustful summer nights as you ride life's highs and lows.
Silvastone stands out with his experimental nature that refuses to conform to one genre, seamlessly blending Afrobeats, R&B, Hip-Hop, Reggae, and Classical influences. Born in Sierra Leone and moving to London after fleeing civil war, it's obvious that his varied life experience and influences have led the musician to finding his own unique sound - and people are noticing.
Now working on his fifth self-produced album, he’s already headlined shows and performed at both Glastonbury and SXSW, sharing the spotlight with the likes of Wyclef Jean and Davido. His music has also featured on platforms like Netflix and Warner Bros, something that showcases his versatility.
More than an artist, Silvastone is a pillar of his Croydon community. His White Hut Studios doubles as a creative hub and foodbank, supporting local youth through music and mentoring programs. Through initiatives like White Hut Live and collaborations with children's charities, he empowers young talents to express themselves and believe in their potential. His vision of a world united by music ensures that he inspires positivity through his sound. “Into You?” We’re into it.
