Five years in the making, starting on the East Coast in New York and finding its final form on the West Coast in Los Angeles, “Airplane Mode” is Frankie Silver’s personal dance with a toxic relationship and that moment of finally deciding to disengage and hit reset. In a way, that journey mirrors the song’s theme perfectly—it’s about the necessary trip inward to find yourself. The lyric, “Trying to be someone that wasn’t me… I just didn’t love me,” is the raw and heartbreaking admission that starts the healing process back to self-love. “Sometimes, the first step to finding your silver lining is being honest about the storm,” shares Silver.

Driven by a punchy beat and an uplifting melody, “Airplane Mode” pulls people into a quiet corner, detaches them from external pressures, and focuses on personal growth. The repeated line, “Turn on airplane mode, I just wanna be alone,” is a bold declaration of wanting to escape the madness and find peace in the world. “This song is my anthem for digital and emotional escapism. It’s about that overwhelming need to hit ‘pause’ on the noise. Whether it’s a draining relationship, social pressures, or the constant buzz of expectation.” He adds, “Healing isn’t always about pushing forward; sometimes, it’s about pushing pause. It’s in that quiet space we create for ourselves that we gather the strength to face the chaos and turn it into something powerful.” “Airplane Mode” was produced by Matthew Joshua Hall, known for his work with Nicki Minaj and Lil’ Wayne. The mix was crafted by Grammy Award-winning mixer Ken Lewis (Eminem, Taylor Swift, Lady Gaga, fun.).

Frankie Silver is a dynamic Indigenous artist whose lifelong dedication to performance informs his vibrant, genre-blending pop music. A natural storyteller and master of melody, Silver’s journey began at age six with the Philadelphia Boys Choir, leading to a multifaceted career on stage and screen, to his skilled work as an aerial and acrobatic dancer. In 2013, a life-changing injury threatened to end his piano and dance pursuits, but through years of recovery, Silver turned to songwriting, and his music career reemerged. Since then, Silver has created high-energy, positive, and relatable tracks that evoke a blend of George Michael meets The Weeknd.

About Frankie Silver

Frankie Silver is a dynamic Indigenous artist whose lifelong dedication to performance informs his vibrant, genre-blending pop music. A natural storyteller, Frankie’s journey began at age six with the Philadelphia Boys Choir, leading to a multifaceted career on stage and screen—from roles in Gossip Girl and Broadway’s Tarzan to his skilled work as an aerial and acrobatic dancer.

His path, however, was interrupted at 19 by a life-changing injury that severed his ulnar artery. After years of reconstructive surgeries and physical therapy, Frankie channeled his resilience into music, emerging with a renewed creative drive. He has since collaborated with top producers like Zaire Koalo, Colin Brittain, and 7-time Grammy-nominated Ken Lewis, refining a sound that merges pop, dance, and electronic influences into an uplifting, high-energy experience.

Under his own label, Silver Studios LLC, Frankie released his debut EP, Coming Alive, and is now preparing to launch his highly anticipated single, “Airplane Mode.” His music is an extension of his philosophy: to find the silver lining in every challenge. “I want to amplify the positive vibes I feel inside myself and heal the world through my music,” he says.

Beyond his own artistry, Frankie is an active pillar of San Diego’s music community, serving on the board of the non-profit Gallery130.org which provides affordable creative space for local independent artists. With an unreleased twenty-track discography waiting in the wings, Frankie Silver is an artist defined by his talent, his perseverance, and his unwavering positive energy.
