About David Sylvian

Lewisham, London, England

Born

February 23, 1958

Genre

Rock

Singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist David Sylvian's career began with U.K. art-rockers Japan, who grew from an abrasive glam-punk outfit to a highly sophisticated group of forward-looking pop experimentalists. Following the band's breakup, Sylvian embarked on a career of solo work and collaborations with 1970s legends such as King Crimson's Robert Fripp and Can's Holger Czukay, with a broad sonic palette encompassing the influences of jazz, ambient music, folk, raga, and R&B.

David Sylvian has also released music as a member of Japan, Rain Tree Crow, and Nine Horses.
