Biography

Hailing from Sydney’s west, A Broken Silence launched on to the hip-hop rock scene in 2008. Breaking the silence with their debut LP All For What in 2009, the five-piece band quickly began to consume the ears of hip-hop and rock enthusiasts of the world.
It was All For What that was picked up by Tim Freedman (the whitlams) who liked it so much, he jumped on their first single ‘The Road is Lost’ which was toured around Australia Backed by an 88-piece orchestra and played to sold out audience’s across Australia including the Sydney Opera House where they received a standing ovation – which to say the least was an epic moment for the band.

Together they released groundbreaking Australian hip hop music and have toured extensively around the country independently and in support of the likes of De La Soul, Xzibit, Mobb Deep, Lord Finesse, and the Hilltop Hoods. It was from here on that Torcha branched out with a new project, affording him a new sense of musical freedom
