Born Silvio Rodríguez Domínguez Jr., he is the son of the famous Cuban nueva trova singer Silvio Rodríguez, which no doubt helped carve his passion for music, but Silvito has established his own path and identity through his artistry.

Rooted in a style that marries the traditional beats of Cuban music with modern hip-hop rhythms, his work is characterized by its poetic lyricism and candid social commentary.
