Mini bio
How it started.
Skylar grew up in Mazomanie, Wisconsin, with music at home: her mother played Celtic harp and her father sang in a barbershop quartet. She began performing publicly with her mother at six. Their folk duo was called Generations.
Finding her voice.
Recording as Holly Brook, she signed with Linkin Park’s Machine Shop Recordings and released Like Blood Like Honey in 2006. Her vocals on Fort Minor’s “Where’d You Go” introduced her to a wider audience. In 2010, she co-wrote “Love the Way You Lie” with Alex da Kid and Eminem, the song recorded by Eminem and Rihanna.
A voice across genres.
“I Need a Doctor” brought her together with Dr. Dre and Eminem, and she later sang on Macklemore’s “Glorious.” Her solo catalogue includes Don’t Look Down, Natural Causes and her independent, self-titled 2022 album.
Coming back to Wisconsin.
On Wasted Potential, she revisits her upbringing with more affection for the place she once wanted to escape. Written by Skylar and co-produced with Danny Majic and other collaborators, the album draws on teenage memories and the pop and grunge sounds she grew up with.
