Singer-songwriter and producer Tshila was born in Kampala, Uganda. Inspired by the influence she could have through music, she taught herself to play guitar and started to experiment with her own sound. She recorded and self-produced her first album, Sipping From the Nile in 2006. The album gained recognition from music critics around the world. In 2007, the BBC World Service conducted a talent search and named her one of the 20 best unsigned artists in the world.

“The mix of traditional African sounds with poetry and hip-hop works perfectly for Tshila.”

BBC World Service

She went on to tour and performed her music worldwide at festivals in Africa, Europe and the United States, including the Kennedy Center Millennium Stage in Washington, DC.

In December 2018, Tshila released her self-produced album World in Crisis. The album addresses the social and political challenges the world faces, especially from an African woman’s perspective.

With the tightness of a band that plays together a lot, and the flexibility of a band that is constantly trying to push themselves to new levels, Secret Sound is a Psychadelic Rock Dance Party on a mission. Since 2010, Secret Sound made their mark at venues on the Jersey shore, opening for other legends like Levon Helm, Dickey Betts, John Fishman, Booker T Jones, Rusted Root, Dark Star Orchestra, Umphrey’s McGee , and Chuck Berry’s pianist and songwriting partner Johnnie Johnson.

Formed on the campus of Rutgers University in New Brunswick, NJ, guitarist and vocalist Kevin Hill met drummer Adam Alexander after life on the road with the Appalachian based Barefeet and Co. Along with harmonica and mandolin player James Dalton, the trio made its debut opening for blues giant Johnny Winter at Asbury Park’s Stone Pony. The legendary music venue has become the band’s home, with a whopping 67 appearances at The Stone Pony. Bassist Dave Ferraro, whose uncanny sense of groove and a symphonic view of the band, was added to the ensemble. Ferarro has become a driving force into the direction Secret Sound, working with Hill to sculpt a sound which takes its audience on an intense journey into themselves and out with positive force.

Soon after, guitarist Andrew Gialanella and the keyboardist Andy Feldman were added to the mix and the power of the dynamic was increased exponentially. ​ What Secret Sound really is: the music, the fans, the friends, the family. Secret Sound is also a part of the wider music scene that features some of the most exciting music in the world, both familiar and unfamiliar. Making lifelong friends and creating an unshakeable family, is what Secret sound has done and will continue to do into the next decade.
