She gigs a lot around town and every Thursday around 4pm, she sings a song on Ursula's 95bFM Drive. Listen online at www.95bfm.com!
Somewhere very early on, Silke ended up performing live, weekly on radio 95bFM’s Friday Drive show with A.D.A.M. for 1 1/2 years or so, something that pushed her beyond what she thought she was capable of, thanks to the very supportive Adam and his crew. A whole city basically observed Silke learn her first instrument ever on prime time radio
These days Silke is lucky enough to sometimes get to perform with musicians she greatly admires, which pushes her into trying harder, practising more and slowly getting better at making music. In 2010 she was part of the winning team "The Downlow Concept" in the nationwide 48 Hour Film Competition, for which she provided the female vocals, particularly of the perfectly untranslatably filthy german language song "Schweinevergewaltigende Hure", as part of the soundtrack team with Damian Golfinopolous and Joshua Lynn.
She usually covers other people’s songs, but that'll eventually change, because she has been practising to write her own songs for a few months.
"As pure as driven snow"
A.D.A.M.
"...at about 5am in the morning her and a whole bunch of people sang 99 Luftballons, that was an extremely good... that was one of the best moments in radio, actually!"
Painter Karl Maughan to Charlotte Ryan on 95bFM's Morning Glory
"Just saw Silke perform, was blown away! She is straight up amazing. Am listening to her EP and it's out of this world. Follow her!"
Singer-songwriter Massad Barakat-Devine via Twitter
"Silke you are the sparkle in an otherwise dull day"
Wade Donk
"Let me take this opportunity to say that you are a true inspiration for me. My road to become a songwriter is being very difficult, and I feel renewed every time I hear you growing on your songwriting."

***Born in Wuppertal, Germany, grew up between Hennef, Germany and Remscheid, Germany***
***Migrated to New Zealand in the early 2000s for a lovely man called John, with whom she spent 5 years, before they decided to go their own ways. However, Silke was still in love with New Zealand, so she decided to stick around***
***Silke has a graveyard radio show every Tuesday morning between 3 and 6am on www.95bfm.com***
***All songs are quite literal and non-fiction***
