Biography (taken from davidsylvian.com)



Born 1958. Lived entire childhood in South London. Good parents under the gun. Hard, unforgiving environment. Cripplingly shy. Heard very little music at home but what we did hear we were incredibly excited by and clung to it as to a lifeline. Picked up guitar at age 12. In absence of any training or technical skills and being somewhat non-communicative in person, took to writing my own material.



Formed a band with my brother Steve and Mick Karn in '74. Signed first recording contract in '77. Second, with Virgin records, in '80. Recorded 6 albums with the band Japan before disbanding in '82. Collaborated on a couple of singles with Ryuichi Sakamoto before working solo, and in collaboration with, a varied line up of artists and musicians including; Holger Czukay, Robert Fripp, Bill Frisell, Shinya Fujiwara, Jon Hassell, Haruki Kaito, Russell Mills, Bill Nelson, Shinro Ohtake, Marc Ribot, Steve Tibbetts, Kenny Wheeler, and many others. Been fortunate in that respect.



Married Ingrid Chavez in '92. Moved to the US that same year. Two beautiful daughters. Found guru (or she found me). Moved around the country before coming to rest in New England in '99. Separated from Virgin records after 20 years. Created SamadhiSound studio and label '03. Released 'Blemish' in 03 and, as a member of the group 'nine horses', released 'snow borne sorrow' in 05. 13 year marriage ended. I now divide my time between London and New York.
