Music

Come into the sanctuary

A supporter once said they feel my music is their sanctuary and that stayed with me, as there's nothing I love more than creating mental spaces listeners can walk into, and there they can allow themselves to feel everything. From heartbreak to euphoric hope, my music and lyrics are an attempt to celebrate existence in all its glory and misery. Emphasising that we're not all that different. We interpret things differently, but we feel the same, and at a time of abusively profitable polarization, let music and all art forms remind us of our shared humanity.

I do freelance music work too, see below

Quotes

"Skaly is a young artist who displays growth with each release. Her voice has an intriguing tone of troubadour soul that is warmly reminiscent of Regina Spektor and Lizzy McAlpine, but also with unique tonal elements that are all her own. The song has a haunting quality that inspires repeated listening." 

Larry Flick, Sirius XM, Billboard

"This is really beautiful and so soulful! Was a pleasure to work on. An incredible first single, I'm sure you will connect with a lot of people"

Alex Wharton, Abbey Road Studios

"Love your vocals – so delicate and heartfelt – and the harmonies on the bridge are gorgeous."

Mark Savage, BBC Music

“This is really powerful.”

Patrick Kelleher, Pink News

"Skaly's vocal style seems inspired by art pop royalty Bjork, mainly due to their a huge range of pitch but also in their deep, emotional deliverance."

Doug Phillips, LDN Magazine

Freelance music making for clients and films

Vocals: I can record voice for a top line or vocal harmonies for existing tracks and projects.

Composition for films: I can create musical patterns to fit every character or place in a film, to draw the viewer in and help them relate with characters and set the tone and atmosphere of a scene.

Songwriting for clients: I can compose a melodic line, or write songs based on briefs or creative direction.

Arranging and scoring: I create a fuller arrangement for a song or composition, for strings vocal arrangements and more. I can create an arrangement and follow up with progress, when it sounds just like envisioned, I extract a music score sheet, parts for all live players and a MIDI file for digital instruments.

Executive production: Have songs or ideas and need someone to make it all happen? I can book players and studios for clients, write songs and make arrangements, direct players and work alongside mix and mastering engineers to produce final tracks ready for release.
