sKiYYa (rap, vocals, keyboard) is currently focused on working in collaboration with sister Miana Aenea (saxophone and vocals), Jens Burkhard (drums) and Paul Sonnleitner (base) on our band sKiYYa and the Dream Machine. Our current project titled "A Shadow's State of Mind" explores melancholy and hope within existence. It is inspired by the overcoming of personal darkness, rediscovering hope and reflecting on the darkness within the world.

​

We combine a blend of disparate musical worlds- from psychedelic funk and rock to Middle Eastern influences, classically inspired motifs and hip-hop elements- to craft our distinctive fusion sound. sKiYYa's lyricism delves into thought-provoking themes, weaving poetic narratives and abstract moods that evoke vivid imagery.

​

Our songs range from energetic and hard to dreamy and psychedelic, mirroring the ebb and flow of life. Our sound is characterized by melodious moving riffs, subtle and soulful vocals and harmonies, hooks, chants, improvisation and jams. Our music will make you want to movie, groove, loose your shoes, sway, lay and sit back and listen.
