Nick Wood and multi-talented Brazilian singer-songwriter, Silvio Anastacio, were recently interviewed for Ships Mag. Check out what they got chatting about just below:
With a musical style rooted in Brazilian bossa nova, Silvio’s unique sound is featured on a number of Syn’s albums. Our long-time friend and collaborator has joined forces with the likes of Simon Le Bon and Lisa Ono and, what’s more, was the lead vocalist for Nick’s hit track, “Passion”.
Today, Silvio’s newest album is being mixed at Syn Studios; we hope to have it ready for you by Summer!!!
The globe-trotting music crew of Syn is everywhere! This week, the spotlight is on Singapore. Yes, Syn is growing and we are here at the Lion City for some work and pleasure.
And, speaking of pleasure, it was absolutely ours to be a part of the inaugural “Record Store Day” in Singapore! A series of events took place over the April 20th weekend, not to mention lots of rare, new, big, small and pretty records went on sale across various locations in Singapore.
Kick-started by the talented folks at Vinyl of the Day, the night ended on a high with the vinyl-only ”Wax On Wax Off” party at the uber-cool LOOF, where party revelers grooved to the sounds of Darren Dubwise, FUNK B’STARD and DJ Kentaro into wee hours of the night.
Representing Syn in Singapore is Angela - seen here with a friend in the animation scene.
Our great friend and collaborator, Julian Lennon, turned 50 earlier this month! His latest single, “Someday”, was released to mark the occasion.
Lennon and Aerosmith frontman, Steven Tyler, teamed up to create the uplifting pop-rock track. Whilst the collaboration came as a surprise to some, it’s not the first time - nor the last, we hope! - that the two have come together. Lennon was also seen to lend his vocals to Aerosmith’s latest studio album, “Music From Another Dimension!”.
“Someday” marks the first single from Lennon’s upcoming album, “Everything Changes”. Download “Someday” from iTunes today, and keep an eye out for Lennon’s much-anticipated album available in-store and online from June 4th.
Julian Lennon can also be heard alongside both Nick Wood and Tetsuya Komuro on Syn’s 2012 charity release, “Hope”. All proceeds from the track are donated to the “Beyond Tomorrow” organisation to aid relief efforts of the Tohoku Disaster. Please show your support today.
