Shore native Skylar Demarino aka SkyDxddy just dropped a brilliant new cut, ‘Battlefield’. The song is gorgeously lyrical and enforces the feelings many women have regarding the recent Roe v. Wade decision. Battlefield uses a range of subtle synths, adding another layer to bass and beat combinations that don’t take away from the lyrics’ honesty and intelligence but instead build a steely, thematic texture. There is ferocious energy here, but it is SkyDxxdy’s lush, dextrous, even luxurious vocals that give the track its layered and nuanced authenticity.
The track already has over 21,000 streams.
The brilliance does not come as a surprise to those of us that grew up with Skylar. She cut her teeth right here in Cape Charles, performing on the Palace Theatre stage and at many local venues, festivals, and events. She was what this writer always called a triple threat: dancer, singer, and actor. By the age of 10, she had already written her first song and took to the stage performing, competing, and raising money for local charities.
While a wonderful actor, singing was always her passion, and now her career is breaking the mold.
SkyDxddy is managed by grammy nominated producer Jeff Blue.
Their first viral release “Triggered” (2019) was received well among music bloggers, and influencers. It was the follow-up feature “Puppet Master” (2020) that took SkyDxddys brand viral. In less than 2 weeks the single racked up hundreds of paint challenge videos which eventually earned them over 300k followers on the social media giant, TikTok.
However SkyDxddys next single “Madness” would take their sound global. Released in May of 2020, “Madness” climbed up in streams when it was discovered by the Nightcore community on Youtube. Raking in over 1 million views. It gained the attention of renowned international producer Epidemix, where he created the first ever “SkyDxddy” type beat which would soon become the foundation for their latest single “Monsters Ink“.
In the winter of 2021 SkyDxddy releases their new single “Hold Me” with the producer of Pop Hit “Overwhelmed” Marky Styles, co-produced by Grant Dawson.
SkyDxddys productions knows no boundaries delivering intense alternative rock to melodic future pop anthems. SkyDxddy is clearly one to watch out for with their unique vocals, powerful lyrics and cult like fanbase.
If you say so. Not my cup of tea. Looking at her Bio she checks all the boxes. It seems like she will be popular as victim culture is quite popular this season.
SkyDxddy is hip-hop artist Skylar DeMarino. She originally started singing country but after experiencing a brutal sexual assault she took to distancing herself from her country roots after realizing just how misogynistic it truly is. She soon ran off to college hoping to move forward with her dream to be on Broadway. Where things weren’t exactly different, being openly gay, kid to a mom that cleans houses and a dad on disability. She quickly learned the system was stacked against her in more ways than one. With no choice but to drop out. She decided to take her voice else where and start a movement for women.
She has Karmela Harris in her corner, anyway:
Harris was widely mocked on social media after speaking at a Roe v. Wade panel on Tuesday and using gender pronouns to introduce herself to others seated at the table.
“Good afternoon,” Harris said.
“I want to welcome these leaders for coming in to have this very important discussion about some of the most pressing issues of our time.”
“I am Kamala Harris, my pronouns are she and her.”
“I am a woman sitting at the table wearing a blue suit.”
Welcome to the new world order.
Hi, Karmela!
I am a heteronormative white man sitting at the computer wearing shorts and a tank top because it is quite warm discussing some of the most pressing issues of our time, of which you are one along with Joe Biden, and my pronouns are he and him.
I identify as a chocolate bar. My preferred pronouns are Her/shey
I just LOVE how people like to think that just because they can read a bio, they can read between all the lines and know the whole story.
Mary, I did more than read her bio. I took the time and listened to her music online. I actually read and listened to her lyrics. I think she is talented and wish her the best. When you make statements like about not being able to make in the theater because you’re openly gay. That just doesn’t ring true. The theater? Or you stopped playing country music because of how misogynistic it truly is. Then you switch to Hip Hop. Misogynistic?, no not hip hop. Well a true country music fan has the right to speak out.
I’m sad to see such a talented artist falling for the woke nonsense. It’s a flawed career path and most Americans are weary of it..
They just canceled the release of Batgirl a 70 million dollar movie. That should tell you something. SkyDxddy is talented and it seems she more than capable of reinventing her self. I hope her next reincarnation is her own journey as an artist and not the popular nonsense peddled today.
I’m glad you wish her the best. That makes me feel better about your comments. I to feel the same about the “woke”. Not a fan. She can sing just about any kind of music, she’s very talented. Hopefully reinventing herself doesn’t mean she has to follow a different type of music, which I would have no problem with. She has a good head on her shoulders and has awesome, loving parents that have supported her and wanted nothing but the best for her. I hope that she can be one of those that we as a community can look to one day and say, ” wow she is from our little hometown the ESVA” and all of be proud.
Mary, Thanks for the reply, I really appreciated your comments. I’ll lighten my tone in the future and maybe my” woke” comments were an over reaction and shouldn’t of been directed solely at her. It’s a pet peeve of mine lately. I think we’re all going through a lot of growing pains lately. I was a professional musician and recording artist for over 20 years. I was more than happy to see an artist of her caliber from the shore breaking out. Once again, I do see her talent and do wish her only the best.
Cheers and thanks again
