Silk Young’s refreshing tone is opening up a lane of her own. Silk is a Nigerian-American singer/songwriter who was born and raised in Houston, Texas. Her transition into music was very “seamless and smooth” she says, and part of how her name came about. Her music is a sweet blend of Afro-Pop, R&B, House, and Neo-Soul. “My taste in music has always been very eclectic, so that helped me a lot with songwriting, and finding my own sound,” she says. Silk is on a mission to carve out her own space, and make her own rules in music.
