Journey
Lakota Silva (Gabrielle Maria Da Silva) is a Cape Town-born singer, songwriter, rapper, and performer active across urban-pop, electronic, and hip-hop-influenced music. Her background includes singing, dancing, and acting, all brought together into a multi-disciplinary creative career.
She first gained wider attention through her feature on Locnville’s track “Closer,” placing her within South African pop and electronic music circles. During the same period, she performed as part of live touring lineups connected to international shows held in South Africa, including appearances linked to Justin Bieber’s 2013 South African tour stop.
Her debut project “POP – The Mixtape” (2015) marked her first major solo release, featuring songs such as “Do Re Mi,” “Sweatt,” and “Teeth.” The project leaned into pop and electronic production styles.
She has also worked with South African artists and producers, including Pascal & Pearce, Classy Menace, Reason, and DeaderThanDisco, building a catalogue centred on collaborations and featured appearances across multiple genres.
Her live performances combine choreography, movement, and stage presentation alongside vocal performance, bringing a strong theatrical element into her work.
