BIOGRAPHY
SUCCESS STORIES - CHAPTER ONE - BIO
Skydro is known for his Hip-hop/Reggae
music that reflects an overwhelmingly positive vibe. Originally from the
islands of Belize, Skydro has lived all over the U.S. including New York,
Los Angeles and, for the past six years, Las Vegas, Nevada. The
variety of the places in which he has lived have very much influenced his
music. The rhythm and soul of the Caribbean, the metropolis depth of NYC,
the shimmer of Hollywood, and the mysteries of the desert-filled Southwest
have each been a stone in the path to Skydro’s first album.
As a
deeply spiritual man in tune with all of his senses, making music that can
be felt on a universal level has always been Skydro’s true
passion and professional endeavor. After meeting and beginning
his collaboration with Las Vegas-based producer/composer David Rosen,
Skydro began creating underground favorites such as “Every Star,” “Ghosts
of Struggle,” and “Hip Hop Dreams.” Skydro's wide spectrum of influence
combined with Rosen's Urban and New Age instrumental stylings, made for a
truly original musical experience, an experience that was fully realized
in what became the debut album.
While Skydro started to build a
following with his crew FunkDNA and the T-Funk Squad, Rosen worked on his
craft, producing a number of other artists and groups. It took nearly five
years for the duo to get to work on a full length album, but the finished
product was well worth the wait. “Every star got it's own shine,” Skydro
claims is his mantra, quoting a line from his song, “Every Star.”
The road to “Success Stories” was long and filled with many twists
and turns, but, already, the journey has paid off. In addition to his
growing local fan base, an appearance at the American Society of Young
Musicians “Hollywood Live” 2008 Showcase reflected the wide-reaching
appeal of his music.
“I cannot tell you how many people came up to
me and said they were really touched by ‘Hope,’” Skydro exclaims. “That,
to me, is the reason for all this. It’s the reason I do what I do. And I
hope to do it for a long time. In a big way.”
Over 20
songs were recorded for the album, each of which display strong lyrics,
melody, creativity and, most importantly, positive energy. The
finished album, “Success Stories,” was released on July 4, 2009 and
features 18 songs. According to Skydro, each song selected for the album
was chosen for a reason.
“It’s my success story. It’s your success
story. It’s our success story. These songs are the script of success,
struggle, and hope. I think people will relate to this because it’s the
story of humankind. It’s the beat of our soul,” says Skydro.
