BIO

Growing up just a block away from The Notorious B.I.G., watching him go from local corner boy to rap superstar, Skyzoo couldn't help but dream big. The Brooklyn, NY native saw life in all its "heaven and hell" juxtaposition, being from the infamous home of both the likes of Jay-Z and "Do The Right Thing". He started rapping at age nine, writing about what he witnessed on his daily routines as a child. Those years of observation have turned into first person narratives that have labeled Skyzoo as a "new legend" and have led to his albums being critically acclaimed by fans and critics all the same. His storytelling has been commended by all walks of literary life, from hip hop royalty to university professors and everyone in between. The fan base Skyzoo has been able to acquire stretches across a wide blanketed range, cultivating in a cult like following of fans who've been attached to Sky since his first release almost two ago, which has all lead to cemented placements in both the souls of listeners and the eyes of corporate America.

Musically, he's collaborated with a plethora of artists and producers, including the likes of Jill Scott, Just Blaze, Dr. Dre, Method Man, Bilal, Tyrese, Jadakiss, Black Thought, Pete Rock, Illmind, John Legend, Apollo Brown, Griselda, Raheem Devaughn, Talib Kweli, and Spike Lee, just to name a few. His catalog spans the course of over 25 projects, all receiving praise from the masses as well as his core base upon each release, like his winter 2023 concept album for example, “The Mind of a Saint”; a conceptual album that sees Sky speak solely from the perspective of Franklin Saint of FX's “Snowfall”. Produced by Washington DC duo The Other Guys, the album has been critically acclaimed by critics and fans alike for its vivid storytelling and layered lyricism, merging a fictional character with the times of our real world, circa the show's 1986 landscape. The buzz leading up to its release helped it to debut as the #1 hip hop album in the country on Apple Music the week of release. This past fall saw him release his most recent album: "Views of a Lifetime". Heralded as a modern day classic, the album is a story of reflection, sacrifice, and past vs. present vs. future realization, all from the eyes of the renowned Brooklyn storyteller.

From the MLB/The Jackie Robinson estate to HBO and NBA 2K to ESPN and Buffalo Wild Wings, Sky has lucratively brought corporate America along for a 718 ride. 2023 saw Skyzoo write and perform all of the the music as well as narrate the entire Jackie Robinson documentary "Get To The Bag", with Skyzoo becoming the face of the doc which was executive produced by LA Dodger superstar Mookie Betts and presented by the MLB.

Outside of writing music, he's lent his pen to other literary areas. In 2017 the world saw the release of "Patti Cake$", a major motion picture released in the summer of '17 to critical acclaim (sweeping the Sundance fest and labeled the "must see" move of the summer by both People Magazine and Entertainment Weekly) which he co-started in, served as the lead actor's consultant, and is an associate producer/co-owner of. He's also started in films with Denise Richards, Richard Gunn and more. In light of that success, he's currently developing and pitching scripted television pilots and full length films, and he's ghostwritten and done song writing for a list of Grammy award winning and platinum selling Hip-Hop and R&B artists, charting on Billboard countless times.

The embodiment of a DIY attitude, he's achieved his success in the form of truly being an independent artist, thus molding him into so much more. Skyzoo has become known as being the ultimate artist, one able to make classic music with a lasting impact. Listeners can identify with his story, and they can see the many sides of themselves in him. No matter the mood, season, or circumstance, Skyzoo offers music to live to and live by. The best way to describe him? Let the people tell it and words such as "brilliant", "classic", and "masterpiece" are constantly used to illustrate his catalog, with each yearly entry raising the stakes. The beauty in it all is as his slogan goes: "Lyrics Will Never Be The Same."
