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]]. == History == In [[2001]] Sylver hit [[Germany]] with their debut album ''[[Chances (album)|Chances]]'', including the single "Turn the Tide". The single immediately moved to number 8 in the charts, and within 8 weeks was number 2 (under [[Atomic Kitten]]'s ''Whole Again''), staying in the top 10 for 12 weeks. A month later, the album debuted at 16 and spent 49 weeks in the top 100. The single ''Forever In Love'' also made the charts. The second album, ''[[Little Things (Sylver album)|Little Things]]'' ([[2003]]) was no less successful, with the singles "Livin' My Life" and "Why Worry". On [[November 2]], [[2004]], the third album, ''[[Nighttime Calls]]'', was released.
