'''Sylver''' is a [[Belgium|Belgian]] [[Vocal Trance]] group best known for the song "Turn the Tide". The group's [[vocalist]] is [[Silvy De Bie]] (born [[January 4]], [[1981]]) and [[keyboardist]]/[[songwriter]] is [[Wout Van Dessel]] (born [[October 19]], [[1974]]). Regi Penxten ([[Milk Inc]]) is the [[Record producer|producer]] and co-songwriter.
Silvy began her musical career at age nine on the Belgian [[television series]] ''De Kinderacademie'' (The Children's Academy). Belgian law prohibiting children under 16 from working, however, put a sudden end to this career. Later, she returned with the band "Lance".
Wout is a well known Belgian [[DJ]]. He and Silvy were acquainted at the [[disco]] where he was the resident DJ.
Sylver has toured not only in its homeland of Belgium, but also [[North America]], [[South Africa]], [[Asia]], [[Scandinavia]], and [[Eastern Europe]].
