He is known for being the lead singer of the band Mombojó, formed in the early 2000s and considered part of Recife's new Manguebeat generation. His musical career was solidified with Mombojó, with whom he released several critically acclaimed albums.

In his solo career, Felipe S. released his first album of original compositions in 2017, titled "Cabeça de Felipe". This work, which features a piece by his father, visual artist Maurício Silva, on the cover, explored sounds and formats that distanced themselves from the material produced with the band. In 2021, he presented the album "Espelho" to the public, which featured guest appearances by artists such as Juçara Marçal and Otto.

In addition to his work with Mombojó and his solo career, Felipe S. has a prolific career as a producer and collaborator on various musical projects.
