#SilaLua is an artist, songwriter, and executive producer born in Vigo and raised in Madrid, the city where she currently lives, after spending a few years in London. There, she graduated with honors in Music Production from the University of Westminster (2016–2019).
Her early songs already showcased the conceptual nature of her lyrics and her ability to build a visual and aesthetic universe around her music. These songs gave rise to two EPs – “The Black Door” (2019) and “Vía” (2020) – and several singles, most notably “DÍMELO” (2021), the last one before releasing “ROMPE,” her debut album, which came out on November 4, 2022.
In May of that year, she joined Elliot Moss on his Mexican tour – performing in Mexico City, Monterrey, and Guadalajara. She also participated in several international festivals: ESNS (Groningen, Netherlands), Sound City (Liverpool, UK), The Great Escape (Brighton, UK), and Iceland Airwaves (Reykjavik, Iceland).
Her second album, “Danzas de Amor y Veneno”, was released on January 17, 2025, and premiered that same day at Sala El Sol in Madrid as part of Inverfest. The album explores the duality of life, the light and shadows of emotions, and the clash between dreams and reality. Produced alongside Pau Aymí, “Danzas de Amor y Veneno” is a genre-defying pop record, with a strong electronic foundation and an original blend of major Latin and African musical traditions. Sila Lua also introduces more complex and soft vocal melodies that shine amidst danceable rhythms.
Sila Lua has directed music videos for three of the singles from “Danzas de Amor y Veneno.” One of them, “BRASIL”, directed by La Niña and produced by Smile, has won several international awards: Best Cinematography at the Europe Music Video Awards 2024, and Best Dance Music Video, Best Pop Music Video, and Best Make-Up at the IMVA 2025 (International Music Video Awards).
