About the Artist
Sheldon D'Silva
Sheldon is a session Bass Player, Composer and Music Producer who has worked with some of the finest musicians around the world. He believes that the Bass is a bridge between Rhythm and Melody and hence is an integral part in any band regardless of the genre. He doesn't aspire to be a perfectionist, as he believes that making mistakes is
not only inevitable but it is a very crucial part of growth. Inspite of having explored every genre of music right from pop and rock to jazz, funk and fusion, Sheldon still doesn't believe in sticking to one.
Performed with maestros like Ustad Zakir Hussain, Trilok Gurtu, Mike Stern, Guthrie Govan to name a few, he also had a memorable experience when he got to jam with Bob James, Patty Austin, Bobby Watson, members of the Thelonious Monk School, Bernard Purdie as well as with 3 time Grammy winning Latin Funk Band Ozomatli from LA.
He is a part of bands such as SILK, SiTARFUNK, Louiz Banks Matrixx, D - Company, India's Premier Rock Band INDUS CREED and his band Nexus. Sheldon performed at the Montréal Jazz Festival 2010 with super fusion group Naad Brahma and at the Borneo Jazz Festival 2011 with Dhruv Ghanekar.
