2008 was a successful year for Sky’s musical journey. He made it to the final round of Red Robinson's Talent Showdown at The Pacific National Exhibition and twice wowed the crowd from The Mainstage singing Emerson Drive's "A Good Man".  Sky also made it to the finals of The BC Talent Search at The Arms Pub in Port Coquitlam, and had similar success at Burnaby Days, where he realized a longtime dream by performing for an ecstatic audience from the back of a flatbed semi-trailer.  Not content with simply entering competitions {most of which you can watch, at least in part, on YouTube}, Sky has also been seen strutting his stuff in an upscale downtown club as part of the house band. Backed by a dynamite jazz trio, Sky donned suit and fedora and crooned his way through a lengthy list of his favourite standards.

Although Sky does dig his Sinatra, he grew up listening to Folk, Motown, R&B, and rap.  After his voice coach suggested that Sky learn some country songs “just for fun”, he promptly fell in love with a Tim McGraw tune called “Red Rag Top”.  This led him to artists such as Brad Paisley, Trace Adkins, The Joshes {Turner and Gracin}, Billy Currington, and Emerson Drive.  Sky is now hooked on country music and listens to little else!
