Silver Star is a UK based Sound System that specialise in Reggae and Dancehall music. The sound currently consists of two members; Gussy (DJ) and Randy (MC).

Through meeting along their individual journeys and forming friendships, Silver Star was officially formed around 1996.They started off playing locally, mainly in the North West London area (where they all grew up). Their reputation soon preceded them as their versatile styles secured them well-deserved respect from peers and elders alike.

This status insured a demand and has surfaced in Silver Stars bookings for supporting top artists including Beenie Man, Sean Paul, Assassin, TOK, Buju Banton, Taurus Riley, Luciano, Beres Hammond and many more on their UK tour dates. They have also played alongside some of the world’s top sounds and dj’s including Stone Love Movements, Tony Matterhorn, Kilamanjaro, Fire Lynx, Mighty Crown and also the UK’s very own Heartless Crew, Roll Deep, So Solid Crew, and more.

Silver Star are very popular within their community as they are known for representing, highlighting and promoting new talent onto the Dancehall scene via an ongoing support campaign consisting of tapes and CD’s, not forgetting their extensive collection of exclusive dub-plates from established artists as well as the new comers, from Sweetie Irie to Jah Cure and Movado to Sanchez.
