Skye Newman

Skye Newman is a raw and unapologetically authentic voice emerging from the UK music scene. Having moved countless times throughout her life, she considers South East London her true home – having shaped her artistry through its diverse cultures, working-class resilience, and the real-life struggles she witnessed firsthand. Growing up in low-income households, and
moving often, Skye references being surrounded by people who came from nothing, and channels these experiences into her music, offering a voice to those often overlooked in mainstream narratives.

Inspired by the storytelling of rap and the emotional depth of soul, Skye’s musical journey began with her aunt, a jazz and blues singer, who introduced her to the magic of songwriting and studio life. Later influences like Amy Winehouse, Adele, Bob Marley, and Eminem further shaped her sound – working closely with her musical friends, Skye found her sound, blending poetic lyricism, raw emotion, and a fearless approach to honesty in her music.

Backed by a fiercely loyal support system of family and lifelong friends, Skye’s artistry is deeply personal, yet universally relatable. Whether she’s pouring her heart into her lyrics, vibing with her girl gang, or finding freedom in creative outlets like ice skating, she brings an energy that is both electric and deeply introspective.

With a voice that carries the weight of real-life experiences and a passion for storytelling, Skye Newman isn’t just making music – she’s creating a movement.
