Skye Lewis

About: Skye Lewis was born in March 1996 in New York City. His parents raised him on many classic rock bands like The BeatlesThe Rolling StonesJimi HendrixThe Doors, and Cream, who are still some of his favorites. The first songs he had on his iTunes were usually whatever was at the top of the charts, but then he discovered a magical thing called downloading and thus began his true education in music. For the entirety of the 6th grade he was obsessed with Pink Floyd, then moved on to other progressive rock bands like Genesis and King Crimson, finally branching out to artists from all time periods and genres. He enjoys playing keyboards in his band, arguing on the 4chan music board, and reviewing albums like someone cares about his opinion. Go figure.
