BRAND NEW WEBSITE
Centralia, IL - Nope, I'd never heard of it either but it happens to be the hometown of the latest addition to my client roster, Skiddalz, and I am very excited about working with her. I try not to editorialize too much in these updates but prefer instead to let the music and bio speak for themselves; this one will be the exception.
A few weeks ago I was in a new artist showcase at Tony Neal's Core DJ Retreat in Orlando, attending because one of my clients had a showcase. I was sharing the table with good friend, Wendy Day, and had my back to the stage, engrossed in conversation. I heard another artist being announced behind me and I kept right on talking, except the beat that was playing kept interrupting my train of thought and it quickly began to be apparent that I was not alone. The whole room in fact was on their feet cheering the performer on. I rarely see that at these events so I felt compelled to stand up, turn around and see what all the fuss was about. This is when I first saw Skiddalz.
I'd be lying if I said I wasn't confused by what I saw. Skiddalz is not only female and white but rather a large girl but she was killin' it. She kept my attention for the entire duration of her performance and it was during those few minutes that I knew I wanted to work with her. The many hours I spent with both and her family after a brief introduction solidified my decision. You see, Skiddalz's whole immediate family had driven to Orlando with her to support her at the retreat.
What also impressed me was the knowledge that her entire project is currently being financed by her big sister, who does this from her paycheck from the local prison where she works as a CO; yep, I said CO. This is not likely to be the case for long however as Skiddalz recently licensed several songs to MTV, one of them for the show, Jersey Shore. She also has music going up on iTunes very shortly and things are moving along nicely.
Wendy Day, who was equally impressed with Skiddalz, is going to be assisting her navigate through the murky waters of being an unsigned artist looking for a deal. Upon reading the self-written bio Skiddalz provided us with, she had this to say, "Skiddalz's bio might be the best bio I've ever read about an artist and she wrote it herself......it's really great." Simply put, the girl can write and writes her own lyrics; and she's RAW.
So, everyone, meet Skiddalz. I encourage you to visit the website that she built herself, watch the video clip on the homepage and check her out for yourself. Your time will not be wasted.
