Silkie (musician)

The son of British Jamaicans, Silkie was born in Hammersmith, a district of West London, England. He got into music in 1999 after discovering the UK garage artists Oxide & Neutrino and the So Solid Crew through pirate radio stations. He produced "No Help or Handouts" for the grime collective Unorthodox in 2004, which featured his brother Silva and rapper NoLay. This was followed up by City Limits Volume 2 in 2011. Alongside several other singles and extended plays, he released his third album Fractals in 2015 and his fourth album Panorama in 2021. In 2023, Silkie began providing bass music production courses under the Antisocial Audio brand and formed the UK garage-focused label Bedroom Rat Records. He releases music for Bedroom Rat under his real name, Solomon Rose, while still producing dubstep. ==Production==
