Dana da Silva

As a lover of heavy metal and punk, Dana da Silva is a Mozambican content creator who has been part of the Johannesburg and Pretoria alternative music scene for almost two years. She believes that South African metal and alternative music, and African metal as a whole, are vibrant, diverse, and highly technical, and deserve far more recognition. With an Honours and Master’s degree in Journalism and Media Studies, as well as over five years of experience in media and content creation, Dana enjoys using her skills to document and support the local scene. Her goal is simple: to help amplify the incredible talent coming out of African heavy music through her work with AFRICA.ROCKS. As she would say: support your local metal and punk - and see you around the scene.
