Skyler is both talented and charismatic and has decades of fascinating stories about his own experiences in the music business and other superstars he has worked with over the years.
Skyler is now currently working on a new single called Heal The World to support his vision of Music transforming the lives of many across the Globe. He rightly feels that music is a healing force that should be present in everyone’s lives, especially those suffering from mental illness or in areas of deprivation such as Africa and the third World. It is Skyler who will lead this inspirational project and is now putting in place the foundations for its launch.
Skyler has toured with The Commodores replacing Lionel Ritchie as Lead Vocalist for their live shows in 31 different countries, as well as touring with Sly Stone.
He sang with Celine Dion on the title track from Titanic on the album version which earned him the Grammy award with the song My Heart Will Go On. as well as working with Whitney Houston on the song I’m Every Woman for the block buster hit movie The Body Guard which was movie of the year in (1992).
You can hear Skyler’s voice on the James Bond 007 Licence To Kill, Big Bully with Rick Moranis and Tom Arnold, and Ghostdad. The list of stars are endless Stevie Wonder, Chaka Khan, Sting, Christina Aguilera, Mariah Carey and Kenny G.
Skyler’s love of music stems from his childhood as his Mum, Aunt and GrandMa were Gospel singers in the Baptist Churches of Oakland, so he grew up singing from the age of 7 as well as meeting hosts of great stars as a child. His aunt, Elsie Davis, was the first black woman to hire entertainment for San Francisco’s Presidio Army base and she performed with such greats as Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr and Frank Sinatra.
In his teens Skyler benefitted from the mentorship of two uncles, Capus Hope, who managed Jazz Band, Donald Byrd & The Blackbirds and Arif Khaitib who promoted Ike & Tina Turner.
Skyler’s new single This Is A Calling is one of those tracks that will get you hooked on the talent of the man, and transport you to another place, as all good artists should.
