On today’s Hyphenate Randy sits down with Silas Hite to talk about his journey from the desert to there heart of the Sunset Strip. Silas is an incredible commercial composer as well as a multi-talented recording artist. He began his career working with his uncles, Mark and Bob Mothersbaugh (Devo), at Mark's music studio, quickly earning a position as a full-time, in-house composer. Over the span of seven very productive years, he honed the craft of creating both mainstream and mutated music. Striking out on his own in 2009, Silas has since become an in-demand freelance composer. In addition to scoring commercials, films, games and TV shows, he writes songs and creates art.  Recently his drawings were aquired by The Getty Permanent Collection.
