Los Angeles

Drawing inspiration from her intersecting identities as a queer Senegalese-American growing up in the Pacific Northwest, Aminta Skye is a 22 year old pop rock artist to keep an eye out for. Aminta’s thoughtful lyricism and instrumental arrangements demonstrate a well-studied foundation in the classics of indie, pop, post-punk, rock, and every in-between. Skye binds the nostalgic sonic landscapes of Jeff Buckley, the fearlessness of Paramore, and the genre-bending, inexplicably catchy force of the 1975 with her own ethos to create music that touches the soul. Skye's love of songwriting developed at a young age from a fascination with the way songs serve equally as a bridge to connect an artist to a listener (or a listener to themselves), and as a vessel for self inquiry and confession for the writer.  While finishing her Pop Songwriting degree at the University of Southern California, Skye can be found captivating audiences at iconic LA venues like the El Rey and the Hotel Café.
