Steve "Silk" Hurley

about

Truly a man of all musical seasons, Chicago-based producer / remixer / songwriter / DJ, and now four-time Grammy Nominee Steve "Silk" Hurley has more than proven in his 15-year plus career that he is a musical force to be reckoned with.

Having spanned the sometimes-limiting borders of contemporary Black music, moving freely from his club/house music roots to his R&B/funk roots, his musical scope as a producer has thus far remained unrivaled. Spending his childhood as a devout radio listener & worshipping musical giants from The Jackson 5 to Parliament, he developed not only a love of music, but also a keen sense of melody.

It was through exercising this creative expression that he eventually released his first single entitled Music Is The Key, which soared to the #9 position on the Billboard Dance Chart, establishing him as one of the pioneers of house Music and validating him as a producer. He quickly intensified his credentials as a producer and artist when his group, J.M. Silk, premiered on the RCA Records label and astonished the industry with a string of #1 dance hits, including "Jack Your Body", which was #1 on the
