Silver is given the opportunity of a life time to send out his uniquely South African message to the world and keep the flag flying. The story behind "South African from the waist down"… The car guard Silver writes a song, which one day gets discovered by the music composer Alistair Davis, in the streets of South Africa. Alistair instantly falls in love with the song and decides to take Silver to the Kaleidosound recording studio in Cape Town to meet the music producer Gabi Le Roux, who produced numerous albums for top selling artists including Mandoza. Gabi at first turns them away but Alistair believes in the song and calls his old friend Aidan, a talented Irish Singer-Songwriter based in London, who then agrees to work on the lyrics, together with Silver. Finally they approach Gabi again and this time he loves it! "South African from the waist down" went into production and the recorded version got a record deal with EMI South Africa.
