Bullet was a rapper born in and raised in London, England. He went to school in Buckingham and then was moved to Leighton Buzzard and then to Aylesbury in 1988. He is most remembered for his singles "Bring Forth the Guillotine" (Tam Tam record label, 1989) and "20 Seconds to Comply".
Silver Bullet's first recorded work followed his move to Aylesbury, where he became part of the group Triple Element, who released "What's Dat Sound?" (also Tam Tam, 1988). Having come to the attention of the label, they went on to release his seminal single, "Bring Forth the Guillotine". Bullet's frenetic, hardcore delivery and the hook of a James Brown sample were an instant success and the single was twice re-issued with remixes by Ben Chapman and Norman Cook. The single was immediately followed by "20 Seconds to Comply", which was just as popular. Bullet's frantic rapping was this time put up against samples from the movie Robocop and, in particular, a sample of ED-209 (from which the track took its name).
Those waiting for a follow-up had to linger, as Silver Bullet's success brought him to the attention of Parlophone. He moved to them to release the single "Undercover Anarchist" (1991), and the album Bring Down the Walls: No Limits Squad Returns.
Silver Bullet went on to guest on a variety of other artists songs, and toured with Public Enemy, before relaunching himself as Silvah Bullet in 1998. A series of singles followed, and an album was recorded but never released, as the label Arthrob, a Warners subsidiary went bankrupt. He recorded "Red Rum Special" in 2003 which has not been released. His most recent single was "Se7en" (Control Tower, 2004).
