André Silva Neves (a.k.a George Silver) born in Barreiro, 1994, is an impulsive polymath who, through his creations, is drawing a varied and comprehensive imaginary in different creative areas. He attended the sculpture course at the Faculdade de Belas Artes de Lisboa and the drawing course at Ar.Co, and also had training in music, having studied at Hot Clube de Portugal and at the Escola de Jazz do Barreiro. He is responsible for the Panama Papers label, producing not only his own music but also the music of other projects, creating alter egos and fictional characters to broaden his creative spectrum. He also integrates and produces the projects Lunnar Lhamas, Barata Cósmica, Debut! and Volunteer Dinosaur, expanding his musical vocabulary. In parallel to the musical creation, he has been developing a plastic language within sculpture and has already had exhibitions with his sound sculptures in places like ZDB and the Museum of Mechanical Music. He won the Creation Scholarship 2021 from OUT.RA Association with the project Indecent Innocent, to be presented during this year.
