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!
