Artist Profile
Ivan Silva / Shamanavi
Ivan Silva (born December 5, 1982) is an independent Artist / DJ / Producer from Chicago (the original epicenter of House & Jazz music) who specializes in live DJ performances & electronic music production. His notable solo projects are Ivan Silva & Shamanavi. He has produced numerous side projects with other artists such as Grant Gelb (Shamanavi & Roaring Lion) & Travis Cakos (Shamanavi & Pale Horse)
Ivan grew up in the southwest side of Chicago. He embraced many forms of abstract art & was exposed to all kinds of music as a child. Starting with an electronic drum kit at age 6, he quickly grew an intense passion for electronic music. At 15, he established himself as a DJ - spinning at several parties, lounges, & night clubs throughout the Chicago-land area. At 19, he started buying more sound equipment / instruments; mainly computers & synthesizers. Since then he has strived for diversity & has created a wide variety of music that reflects this world inside/out, physically & spiritually. His knowledge of electronic music composition & technique is self-taught. Xochipillinavi Studios (founded in September of 2001) is where he summons the sounds of Ivan Silva & his various projects.
Ivan Silva / Shamanavi has remixed several artists such as Skinny Puppy, Ministry, Laibach, Rammstein, Depeche Mode, New Order, BT, Sasha, Daft Punk, Timo Maas, Funkagenda, Bob Marley, & The Beatles.
