Sylver is a Belgian trance duo best known for the song "Turn the Tide". The group is vocalist Sängerin "Silvy" de Bie (born January 4, 1981) and keyboardist/songwriter Wout Van Dessel (born October 19, 1974). Regi Penxten is the 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.
