forming this song for the first time
because it’s coming out just about
now,” Skye says. “It will be awesome
for my fans to hear it.
“‘Feeling You’ is about a girl you
really like. You’re feeling a good vibe.
The music has what I think of as
a summer sound. I’m establishing
my sound now to give a clearer idea
of pop with an urban vibe. I’m still
developing my sound because I’m
in the early stages of my career.” He
does, however, cite Bruno Mars, the
Weeknd and hip-hop as influences.
Skye, who doesn’t have a girl-
friend, has a performance goal.
“I like to make my shows directed
at each person,” he says. “That’s how
I like to think about it.”
Skye grew up in Florida, where
his dad practices law and his mom
has operated a doily business. As fan
attention escalated, it was decided
to let him move to California.
Skye now has a house and stu-
dio in Los Angeles. He lives with a
20-something guardian, who also
goes on tour and was recommended
by Skye’s manager. Mornings are
set aside for homeschooling with
a tutor, providing instruction in
required high-school subjects and
preparing him for SAT exams.
“I’m going on to college, but I

haven’t decided what I’ll be taking
up,” he says.
Now that Skye is getting high-pow-
er recording connections, he works
with a group to develop songs.
“Most of the time, I meet up with
producers and writers in the city or
in my studio at the back of my house,”
the singer-songwriter says. “We sit
together and sort through ideas of
what the concept is in what we’re
writing about.
“Then, we go on to choose a track
or solo from guitar with piano. We
write melodies and lyrics to it. I
take my versions from what hap-
pens in my life or my friends’ lives
and just write.
“Sometimes I work with a team of
one or two people, and sometimes, I
work with more than that.”
Skye’s commitment to Judaism
continues with Shabbat dinners and
putting on tefillin every day. For fun,
he likes to hang out with friends and
hike in the mountains.
“Working hard” is his advice to
other kids wanting music oppor-
tunities.
“Stay focused on your goal,” says
Skye, who has a vocal coach and took
guitar lessons for a year. “It takes a
lot of patience to get where you want
to be.” •
