ABOUT

20-year-old Skaivi was born and raised in the dynamic city of Chicago. Having Polish and Slovak heritage, she grew up multiculturally, especially residing within the Polish-American community (Polonia) of Chicago and its suburbs. Initially, Skaivi started as a lyricist, following in her mother’s footsteps. After she started gaining inspiration from her mother and other artists such as Tyler Joseph, she wrote her first lyrics at age thirteen. There were demos made of that song, as well as other ones that she wrote, but she had an intrinsic desire to make her music by herself, in the way she wanted. That eventually led her down the path of music production, which she finally gave a shot after being inspired by Grimes and her production. Armed with an iPhone SE, she created her first compositions and productions on Garageband at the age of seventeen, eventually graduating to a laptop, at age eighteen, with a professional digital audio workstation. While also liking singing, Skaivi’s main thing is electronic music composition and production. She doesn’t limit herself to one single subgenre. Instead, she creates whatever kind of song she feels like creating at the moment, whether that be a clubby techno tune or an out-of-the-box experimental piece. Skaivi likes to focus on sound design and all the little details that can make a song flourish, often adding magical, outer-spacey elements to her works. Today, she currently works in a DIY setup within her bedroom. Constantly working on improving and evolving as an artist, she takes pride in making her music the best it can be, and her perfectionist self is meticulous about her creations. Along with wanting to build up a diverse discography of well-produced songs, she also hopes to inspire others someday the way her favorite musicians inspire her.
