The Artist. The Singer.
The Teacher.
“I will always sing from my heart and my
soul, with passion and determination. I will
give my everything." - Germán Silva.
“My singing and music originates from years
of musical influence that includes both cultural
surroundings and a deep passion for powerful
on-stage performances" says Germán. His voice and
style have often been described as funky-urban,
mixed with the finesse of classical opera/pop
plus his own Latin influence.
Growing up in vibrant Latin America (Chile),
Germán remembers music as a simple part of life.
Radios sat by neighbours windows, echoing
rhythms of all kinds. Playing soccer to the
beats and rhythms of people on the street was a
common pastime for Germán and friends. The
inspiration to share music and communicate
through songs and sounds is something he
cherishes today.
A highly talented singer and a gifted
performer, Germán (also known as “G) sings,
writes, produces and records his own music. He
performs in English, Spanish and Italian. Germán’s professionalism, determination and
charisma have earned him respect and recognition
from fellow musicians and the music industry at
large.
In his early years as a performer Germán
formed the Latin dance grooves band Vatos Locos.
The band became well regarded within Melbourne’s
Spanish speaking community, allowing the band to
succeed in the mainstream club arena, and to
produce an album. Vatos Locos is still
Melbourne’s most successful Latin band and
highly sought after by corporate functions and
venues.
Other career highlights include performing
with Ricky Martin on ‘Rove Live' and for Rachel
Griffith’s 30th birthday. Television
performances include Good Morning Australia with
Bert Newton - “one of the best acts we’ve had on
our show" Bert Newton.
World Youth Day Sydney 2008 was truly a once
in a lifetime opportunity.
Germán recorded and performed live ‘RECEIVE
THE POWER - the international anthem of this
event, in front of His Holiness Pope Benedict
XVI, an estimated live audience of 500,000 and
half a billion worldwide on TV broadcast. This
extraordinary experience is something Germán
will carry with him forever.
