Jorge A. Silva
- Composer
- Production Manager
Jorge A. Silva was born in Porto. He began dance studies at the age of 5 and music when he was 7. Living in Vila Nova de Gaia since the age of 3, he studied dance and music until his senior year. Forced to choose between dance and music, he decided to stay close to home, and since there were no dance universities in Porto, he enrolled in the Composition major at the music college. Missing dance, he dropped out after the first semester and joined the University for Music and Dance (Codarts) in Rotterdam, The Netherlands. There, he graduated in Performative Dance and attended two years of Choir Conducting major. After some experience in dance companies, he returned to the music world and started to make a living out of it, first by playing piano for dance classes, later composing music for dance, theater, film and video games. He moved back to Portugal in 2005.
