Silence: No Words Necessary When you’re talented, you don’t have to say a word. Your work speaks for itself, and much like the Oxon Hill, Maryland native MC/producer Silence, words don’t do justice to the chart-worthy hits he creates. His introduction to music began at age 13 when he started making beats, tired of following the tired trend of rapping over mainstream instrumentals. Fueled by his brother’s passing, his commitment to make this a career for himself became stronger and a testament to his dedication and desire to fulfill the dream of someone who would never be able to. Citing not only genre defining acts but their monumental opuses ranging from Bone Thugs N Harmony’s E. 1999 to Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon, music has always been so much more than the sum of its parts; to him music is therapeutic: Silence reflects, “Songs from those artists got me through everythingthe good and badand the idea of creating something that could do the same for others is an out of this world feeling.” His first foray comes in the form of Shut the F Up, a forthcoming mixtape showcasing his rapid fire rhymes and vibrant, melodic beats that combine to make a sound unlike anything ever heard before. In a time when there is a category for every type of music and people are more interested in numbers sold than quality, Silence is a throwback to the days when music meant more than just a means of selling products. “I love music, regardless of anything. I don’t need a dime to put my heart in a song, and it’s reflected when people listen to them. They feel what I feel and relate because it’s real.” Silence has been working hard building up his music licensing catalog which has gotten him placements on various TV networks such as Fox Sports (various shows and sports games), MTV, VH1 (VH1 dirty south hip hop honors awards show and more) and other various Production music catalogs for film and TV. As the days of the major record label slowly come to a crawl, sputter and die, what separates Silence from the throngs of artists still begging for attention is his inability to play “the game”. He doesn’t care about selling 10 million records or selling out the Madison Square Garden every night; he’s an independent that thrives on challenge and believes in building his own personal success from the ground up without compromising his music or his integrity to attain it. Whether the majors come knocking or not is irrelevant; Silence’s “hard work pays off” attitude means success is guaranteed no matter what happens. What more must be said? www.silenceofinfinity.com
