Mista Silva, is a British-Ghanaian musician from Brockley, London with origins from West Africa Ghana.
Mista Silva released his debut EP, Full Vim, in 2012. Its success led to a record single deal with Polydor Universal in 2014.
His first afrobeats releases in 2012, Full Vim and Boom Boom Tah, combined the attitude of funky house, the edge of grime and the party spirit of hiplife to offer up music in tune with the Azonto craze that was taking over at that time.
These hits and others such as Now Wats Up? were hyped as much by BBC1Xtra as by the Guardian and saw Silva help build the Afrobeats audience in the UK alongside the likes of Fuse ODG and DJ Abrantee.
Then a deal with Polydor in 2014 took him off course with the mainstream-leaning single Green Light.
