Brooklyn native, Sky Heavens may not ring a bell for many but for most music industry insiders, her name is far from unknown. Getting her first big break as a tenacious vocalist with R&B crooner Carl Thomas, she quickly went on to catch the eyes and ears of former Fugees front man, Wyclef Jean.
Sky has worked and toured with some of the biggest names in music such as Rihanna, Nicki Minaj, Justin Timberlake, Melanie Fiona, Robin Thicke, Kanye West “Glow in the Dark” tour, Alicia Keys “Freedom Tour” & with Far East Movement as a featured artist which included performing their hit “Like a G6”, which also aired on MTV Push.
It wasn’t long before Sky caught the ear of hip-hop rap icon Eminem, which lead her to being handpicked to join the Recovery band as the lead vocalist. And was soon wowing audiences at NYC’s Yankee Stadium, when she joined Eminem on stage for a rendition of “Stan” on his blockbuster “Home & Home Tour” with Jay Z.
When discussing her sound the Puerto Rican diva explains,“ My music is glamorous, fun, sexy, but can also be introspective and soulful."
“Hollywood is about a past relationship gone bad, really bad. When I wrote the song, I was angry about being mistreated by him but then I realized that it wasn’t me, it was him and that’s when I was ok with it,” Sky explains. “Hollywood is like a big middle finger to an ex or to anyone who comes in your life and tries to drain you with negativity. It’s one of those records you put on and sing in the mirror while putting on your eff ‘em girl dress for a night out with the girls.”
Sky is currently putting the finishing touches on her forthcoming EP Luz. Continue reading to listen to her first offering.
