Adam Stephen D'Silva
''' (Adam Hitman Dsilver) Born August 06th 1988.

Early life
Adam was born and grew up in Bridgewater,Tasmania Australia. An older Brother Lucas(25)and sister Nina (27) His Mother a devoted house wife and Father a Hard working Labourer and Musician. Adam was the 3rd and last child the only child to take up music to a higher level than his father. At an early age you would always find Adam tapping around pretending to play drums or even him sitting looking up at his father playing in his band (Dark Horse) He admired music all his life. Music was always something he loved along with Wrestling, he loved it!

at about the age of 6 whenever he would be with his father he would always be watching wrestling, his father loved it and Adam did too. Adam Admired the Hart Foundation, who knows whether it was the pink or just the long hair but something made Adam always talk about Bret Hart and would always skip through the tape just to see Bret. Adam always dreamed of being a wrestler but when he was 10 he got a drum kit for his birthday, he eventually picked it up on his own and began playing in music sessions at school. Adam and Lucas would always be wrestling out on the backyard throwing eachother through tables using all sorts of weapons and it would usually end up with Adam having Lucas in a submisson and Lucas biting or pinching him.

Wrestling was his dream, Music was always something that was easy to do and he was good at it.

Teenage Life/Mind over Matter
so Music was what he stuck to, he knew that he couldn't professionally train in wrestling as he was too young and there not being a school in Tasmania. once he entered High school that's where his music took off, he eventually got into guitar and was able to sing play guitar/bass, Drums he was a one man band. After several bands in grade 9 he met a friend named Matthew Anderson who known as Ando. they became best friends and shared the same talent and music, so they got together and made plenty of music and recorded alot of material. In grade 9 he did his first live solo performance in front his school singing Nirvana's "Polly" he then claimed the nickname Polly for the rest of the year.

when Adam was 16 he put together a band which involved his cousin Caleb and his friend Nathan(Cannon). Caleb on Bass, Nathan on drums and Adam Guitar and singing. The band mainly performed Adam's original material and a few nirvana Covers they basically did gig after gig without pay but it didn't worry them as they were quite happy to just play. The band had got a second guitarist who played 2 gigs and after the second gig which was "the gig in the gardens" they were due for a recording session unfortunately Cannon and the new guitarist didn't show up. A tag along named Nick Morgan was also there and after Adam and him chatted and finding out Nick had a drum kit a few amps and guitars, Adam and Caleb decided to go and have a jam session.. and that was the start of the Mind over Matter They jammed for a few hours just pumping out nirvana covers and they new there was something special there.



Mind over Matter
Adam Dsilva(Guitarist/Singer, Caleb Graham(bassist) and Nick morgan(Drummer and singer).

twice a week was usualy the amount of times they rehuresed and usualy on the weekend Nick would invite a bunch of girls and they would all end up drunk and smashing out tunes till midnight.

after a few months they decided they needed to do some live gigs. So they booked a hall which cost them $65 to hire and got a Front man (from Adam's Technical production course which he was also studying at the time) to bring all the gear to set this gig up. it was well prepared and they were excited as they were charging 5 dollar entry fee and it was the first time money was involved so to them it was big.

on that day they went to the hall early in the morning and met everyone who was involved in the gig thier manager at the time who supplied the stage was there the front man was there other helpers were there but no Caleb.. half an hour before the gig Caleb still hadnt shown up and he was the only one with his licence at the time, they started to panick! They knew he wasnt coming so they quickly ran through the songs with Nicks younger brother who knew how to play bass and just as they were starting to play Caleb walks in. So they had a good night it went well Adam and Nick swapping between drums and guitar. they made $600 that night after paying thier labour they were quite happy with what they had recieved.

After that night they decided they didnt want Caleb as he was never showing up to practise and after the gig incident they felt they wanted a solid band and solid positions. so Nick moved to bass and they were then to find a Drummer.

they Found a drummer and decided to give him a trial at Nicks school infront of the school.. they were pretty happy but the very last song they got a guy who Adam went to high school with...liam O'leary to play the last song as they just wanted to see what he was like and there it was.

after the set was up Adam and nick decided to meet up with Liam and kindly ask him to go to nicks house for a practise, he was happy and said yes.

Final Mind over matter
So the band was set. gig after gig the band was finally making some money. ]]
