DJ SKY has been translating his musical interests and moods through the turntables since '93, proving to be a strong provider, promoter and representative of the Atlanta hiphop scene. From '94 to '99, he scratched live with instrumental/funk/acid-jazz band Sputnik(3 members of this band has since joined
up with some other great talents to form the band Aerial2012 and can be found
here on myspace at http://www.myspace.com/aerial2012 ). During his ride with
Sputnik, he joined up with 3 MCs by the name of Mojo99, scratching with other
rotating band members from '96 to late 2001(Mojo99 has since become Heavy
Mojo with new and outstanding musicians and can also be found here on myspace
at http://www.myspace.com/heavymojo ). Throughout these years, he has built a
name for his solo career DJing in clubs, shows, radio and studio sessions with
many different artists and groups. SKY can be heard on WRAS 88.5FM's "Hush,
Hush" show every first Wednesday of every month from 8-10PM mixing and
scratching the best in down-tempo, hiphop & trip-hop instrumentals where he's
held residency since '99. SKY released his first solo single entitled, "Depths of My
Soul" in early 2000 on a compilation from Elemental Magazine, "The Track Less
Traveled". And in 2004, he released his second solo single entitled, "SKY vs. MS"
for the 2nd Annual MS Benefit Compilation featuring many of ATL's greatest
underground hiphop acts! This single expresses SKY's message to Multiple
Sclerosis which he was diagnosed with in March of 2002, bluntly informing "MS" that it has quite a
challenge ahead of it to have chosen SKY as it's host mind and body! To read a
