Skewby - "Sunny": SXSW 2011 Showcasing Artist

www.somethingaboutskewby.comThis young artist started 2010 off with a bang, 
opening for the Lil Wayne Farewell Tour.
 This should be no surprise however after the rave reviews of his recently released
 mixtape, "Proving You Wrong Since 1988. Blogs such as Ill Roots and The Smoking 
Section tagged Skewby as an artist that revives "real hip hop". His music is compared 
to the likes of a Kanye or Lupe, but he can definitely hold his own with his clever lyrics 
and catchy beats. One only has to peep the mixtape to get a feel of his versatility. Only
 21, he's been making his mark slowly since the age of 14 by producing for artists such
 as Short Dawg and Pimp C to name a few. Although production, engineering and writing
 is a passion, his real love is performing. More recently he performed at MTV's 
Spring Break 2009 and hooked up with DJ Crumbz to headline the Red Bull Southern 
College Tour. Future endeavors include a much anticipated release of his recent
 collaboration with Gorilla Zoe that should be out later this year.
Skewby reigns from Memphis, Tennessee although his music tends to break the mold
 and veer away from the traditional Southern Gangsta Rap that is expected out of the
 Bluff City. But its obvious Memphis has caught on to his movement, and embraced
 this young artist by naming him one of the top 20 performing artist in the city, of which
 Skewby was tagged as #1 in the rap category.(Memphis Chamber Magazine, 2009).
 This multi-talented phenom is understandably on a lot of people's radar. 2010 appears
 to be the beginning of great things to come. Info :www.somethingaboutskewby.com
